Though I grew up with a lot of love and support, I've struggled throughout my life. My emotions have always been abundant and often visceral. I found art to be my way to process this life and to get what I am feeling on the inside out of my body so that I can function.

I studied fine arts in college and have studied watercolor for over 30 years, now. I also gained my teaching certificate and have had the pleasure of working with kids with a difference or who struggle with behavioral disorders.

I’ve found my love for art and how I use it to process my feelings to gain emotional regulation are major assets I can share with others, particularly when it comes to helping our struggling children. All of this heavy stuff can be processed through something that feels like play. That’s right! You guessed it. We can all learn and heal through art.

Will you join me?
