Maybe you haven’t made art since you were a little kid. Maybe you’re navigating a big life change or career stress. Maybe you want to turn a sketching hobby into something more. Or maybe you’re just looking for some artistic inspiration. Whatever it is, I can help you find healing and purpose through art-making.

As a new mother, I have experienced the benefits of therapeutic art making firsthand, which helped me to process my pregnancy and transition into parenthood.

With over a decade of experience in arts education, illustration, and studio art, I have one very important message for you: you do not have to be an artist to find meaning and purpose through creation. Art can be healing for anyone, regardless of experience or skill level.

I have maintained a freelance illustration career after earning a master of fine arts degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2019, and have been teaching adults and children for 15 years. I’ve completed an art therapy course at the School of Visual Arts and I have written, illustrated, and published two books that are sold in stores worldwide. I am a frequent contributor of illustrated comics to the Washington Post, particularly regarding topics of gender, mental health, and parenthood. These pieces are therapeutic for me to create, and they help others process their own situations through relating.

I can’t wait to create with you!
