"We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." ~ Nelson Mandela If I could accomplish one thing, it would be to encourage women to discover their fabulousness and find joy in creative expression. As a designer I find inspiration in everything. My love for art took root at the age of 16 when entering my first fine arts class. Developing my drawing skills was a fulfilling process as I learned about the histories of art and the techniques different artists developed. Over the years, my interests have grown to include painting, jewelry making, sewing, and now designing accessories. I am a busy young mother of a beautiful little girl. My daughter comes first, but when my little one is content I am busily crafting, drawing and painting, dreaming up new projects and designs, and mapping out ways to create them. Creative expression is one of the great joys of my life and my hands are never still. :O)
