I am a mixed-media artist, writer, creativity coach and trauma-informed yoga therapist from Crozet, Virginia.

In my thirties, before my decade in Ireland, I exhibited my photography and assemblage sculpture on the West Coast. As a quintessential struggling artist in the San Francisco Bay Area I survived but I didn’t thrive. I lacked the self-belief required to create from a place of authenticity. I wasn’t brave enough to be vulnerable. But now I possess a grounded sense of purpose and the tenacity that comes with decades of life experience. I don’t feel shattered when I fail. I feel stronger.

I hold an MFA in Transpersonal Psychology and a BA in Studio Art/Secondary Education. I am a certified coach through ICA and a SoulCollage® and Guided Autobiography facilitator.
