FUN FACTS...
FAVORITE COLOR
Blue! And pink! And red and orange. Oh, maybe all the colours, who can choose? Why should they have to?
WHY DO I PAINT TREES?
Trees have always felt magical to me, and when I paint them I feel like they inspire me to grow and transform. I want to share that growth and transformation with others, through shape and color, vibrancy and magic. There is always a spot of glitter in every painting, and I love bright energetic colors. The paintings transform any room into a magical space.
FAVORITE PLACE TO WRITE
I have a completely seperate studio on my house property. I only take a snack, my dog and my computer in there... no phone allowed and I feel like I'm far far away from anyone! I can be crazy creative in there. It never feels like work.
FAVORITE KIDS BOOK
I loved reading as a kid but no book had the impact that "No Flying in the House," had on me. It was about a girl without parents that found out she was a fairy and had to choose between staying a fairy or having parents. I think the fact she had to make such a massive choice really affected me. I wanted her to choose being a fairy lol. You'll have to read the book to find out what she chose.
