I've been a fine artist and digital designer for over 20 years. As an empath, I live to encourage others to find their happy place in their studios through my Passionate Painter Podcast and workshops.

As the daughter of two entrepreneurs, I'm also on a mission to help other fine artists reach their goal of making a living as a fine artist.
