I really love this quote from Pablo Picasso, "All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”

I have had a passion for sketching and painting since I was a child. I participated in shows and competitions. It was a part of my daily life even into my 20s. But then I faced a terrible loss... and that creative light just went out.

The things we go through in life can change us, if we let them. Sometimes it's in a profound way and sometimes we loose a piece of us. For almost a decade I didn't create much of anything and sadly I really didn't realize it.

A few years ago I saw something that inspired me. It's hard to put into words how much of an impact that creative spark had. That love of expression, and the peace and joy that comes with creating something, was exciting again. So now every chance I can slip away to my studio, I do. 

I created this website to share my work, and to help others. I believe art is meant to be shared; not just as works of art, but that we should share art by helping others to explore their own creativity. So yes, you will find pieces of artwork available for purchase but over time, as I am able to work at this, there will be links to tutorials, product reviews, and more available here and on my social media. 

Quality crystals and stones are an integral part of my artwork. But sourcing quality stones in the sizes I wanted, at an affordable price was challenging. After a lot of trial and error, I've finally established quality connections and honed the process of importing stones in large case volume to make these quality crystals affordable. And now I plan to offer those stones and crystals to the public very soon, as well as some crystal pieces that as stunning all on their own.  

I am also donating a minimum of 10% of the profits to local charities, and that is just the start.
