The summer before senior year of collage, I decided to change my life’s path from being an art teacher to becoming an artist, and I’ve been dedicated to that vision ever since. There’s a difference between dreaming and actively pursuing those dreams. For too long, I found myself daydreaming about the life I desired, until one day, while walking on the treadmill, I realized I was skilled at dreaming but lacked the action to make those dreams happen. I made a commitment to keep the promises I made to myself, and that single decision transformed my life. I moved to Nashville, carved out time to create art, and decided to build my business from the ground up. Now, I create work that I love—art that reflects the journeys we all take in life, inspiring others to cherish the past and keep moving forward.
