I started talking about being an artist when I first got asked what I wanted to be in kindergarten- making little projects of myself with a paintbrush and palette. I don’t really care much for painting, but I knew I’d do something creative.
I sat outside in my driveway, trying to be a writer like Harriet the Spy, before I could even form words fast enough to keep up with my thoughts.
Creativity is in my astrological chart, my lifelong passion, and my devotional.
I have a BFA in Performing Arts and lived a magical life where all I ever did was art before my full time job took over, I got married a second time, had 2 kids on the Autism spectrum, and started to see my own disability and neurodivergence impact my life on a grander scale.
I quit my “regular job” and I’d say I never looked back but I still have nightmares about making lattes for rude fucking people.
I try really hard to squeeze time for my art & poetry inside of my life as it is right now, because I spent a really, really, really long time saying “well- when things calm down I’ll do xyz” and I just don’t have time to waste not enjoying the things I love.
I’m always down to talk about emo music, shit on spiritual bypassing, play the Sims, and read a good book- esp if it’s Grady Hendrix or Alice Hoffman.
I'm a forever learner.
Blame my Gemini Moon.
