I am a resin artist inspired by crystals, the moon, ebb and flow, relationships, and the cycle of life. I am drawn to clean, vibrant color and organic form. My work allows me to live in the moment. When I’m creating I feel whole. When I’m not creating I’m dreaming about my future pieces. 

Everything about working with resin intrigues me. There is a certain stress because of the minimal work time before the resin begins to cure. But this stress leads to a hopeful anticipation and excitement to see how the resin heats up and reacts before settling down. Resin does what it does and that may be why I am so obsessed. Even the most well thought out plans change as the resin does its “resin thing”. It is because of this that I love working with this magical medium. The unpredictability mirrors life but it all works out in the end. 

• I am originally from Greater New Orleans and still say y’all.
• I’ve been living in the PNW for over 20 yrs. 
• My favorite medium is resin but occasionally I pull out the oil paints.  -I have a degree in Fine Arts from LSU- Geaux Tigers!
• I have 2 grown kids. I ❤️ them.
• I love Frida Kahlo for so many reasons- she reminds me of my Grandma also from Mexico.
• I met J at my Senior Art Show. We married 3 weeks later. 26 years together now 💜
• I believe in love at first sight, God, and Law of attraction.
• David Bowie is my favorite genius but lately I have really been into Pearl Jam. While working on my last piece I listened to "Just Breathe” on repeat. My studio neighbor asked me if I was okay.🤣🤣🤣🤣
