I didn’t always speak kindly to myself.

For years, my inner voice was harsh, critical, and relentless. I told myself I wasn’t enough, that I would never reach my goals, that I didn’t deserve more. I was constantly working against myself, stuck in patterns I didn’t fully understand but felt every day.

​

About seven years ago, something shifted.

​

What started as a desire to lose weight led me to something much deeper - the way I think. I began to

understand how much my thoughts were shaping my reality. The way I spoke to myself influenced everything.

​

So I started doing the work.

​

Every morning, I journaled. I asked myself hard questions. I unraveled the beliefs I had carried for

years, the ones shaped by past experiences, old stories, and things I had been told about who I was.

And slowly, I began to challenge them. To question them. To replace them.

​

Over time, everything changed.

​

I learned to speak to myself with compassion instead of criticism. I built a mindset that supported me

instead of tearing me down. I lost over 50 pounds. I ran a 10K. But more importantly, I started to like

myself. I started to trust myself.

​

These days, my inner voice sounds very different.

​

It tells me I’m capable. That I can do hard things. That I’m strong. That I’m a badass. That I have

nothing to prove and nothing to hide. That I get to take up space, go after what I want, and be proud of who I am.

​

And that shift changed everything, not just how I live, but how I create.

​

My art is an extension of that transformation.

I create expressive portraits representing women on their own paths of growth—women who are learning to unlearn, to rebuild, to rise.

​

Because I know what it’s like to be your own worst enemy.

And I know what it takes to become someone who has your own back.

​

My work is meant to be more than something you hang on a wall.

​

It’s a reflection.

A reminder.

A moment of recognition.

​

I imagine my work in your space, in the quiet moments before your day begins. A steady reminder of

your strength, your growth, and everything you’re becoming.

​

The version of you who keeps showing up.

The version of you who’s done the work.

The version of you who knows she’s capable of more and is going after it.

​

I believe women are at their best when we lift each other up.​

And if my work can be part of that, if it can remind you of your strength on the days you forget, or

reflect the growth you’ve worked so hard for, then it’s doing exactly what it’s meant to do.
