A Little Bit About You...

Surrounding yourself with meaningful art that connects with you is a big part of how you find joy in the every day. But life’s challenges make it hard to stay positive.

What you need is a space where you can connect with the reason behind creating + cultivate a place of self-care where art is seriously therapeutic. Where everything from your wall art to your phone case is a reminder to choose joy and encourage the healing process, no matter where you are.

You’re exactly where you need to be right now.

My Story

Like you, I know what it’s like to be on a constant journey of self-care. I’ve always been in love with art, using it to work through severely traumatizing events from childhood. Art was and still is an escape that became an outlet.

I went to Ontario College of Art and Design to complete my bachelor’s degree in Environmental Design to cultivate my love of all things art. Scared off by critique, I lost my creative motivation, putting my paintbrush down for years. But in 2014, after having my first daughter, an Instagram challenge that started as a monthlong accountability exercise turned into an Etsy shop, where I sold art prints. After I officially launched my website, It wasn’t long before my business exploded and clients I had only ever dreamed of working with wanted my art.

Even as my dreams were becoming reality, my journey hasn’t always been so easy. When I struggled with chronic pain, doctors misdiagnosed me with fibromyalgia, until 2017 when I received my diagnosis of Chronic Lyme Disease. These days, staying at home with my two daughters and harnessing my art into a business has led me to just the right balance that helps me provide for my family and continue to focus on health + wellness. I was treated for Lyme Disease in Germany in 2020, and was successful at healing. In 2021 my Chronic Pain returned and in 2022 I was diagnosed with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndromes. hEDS is a genetic condition in which my body makes faulty collagen which then affects all systems in my body. My mobility has been impacted greatly by this condition, I am immunocompromised and battling new symptoms all the time. I continue to search for a way to balance family, medical commitments and treatment with my love of creating. Times where I am too sick or sore to create is where I see my positivity dip. Making art is critical for me.

Life can demand a lot of us, too often leading us down the path of stress, self-doubt, and the desire for perfection. But art is that magic, wonderful intersection where we can breathe, be ourselves, and let our intuition take over. Art heals, and small moments of reflection and calm can come from the beautiful art we surround ourselves with.

Today, my feet are firmly planted in my calling in a business I built single-handedly. Art will always be my reminder to slow down, reset, and take a moment to connect. I hope it will be yours, too.

 Live your life out loud & create a beautiful space that uplifts you.
