Behind the Artist
Born and raised in Little Egg Harbor, NJ I had always considered myself an incessant doodler rather then an artist. I had always been told that I had talent, but my insecurities prevented me from putting my art work out there, prevented me from trying......
Finally I succumbed to those that encouraged me to do something with my talent. To stop hiding behind my paper and pen....to put it out there!
So now here I am the artist I always dreamed i would be. I have been beyond humbled by the amount of people that have bought my work to hang in their homes. The custom pieces, I have been hired to do. The festivals and shows I have sold artwork at. The tattoo designs I have done (yes people have MY WORK on their bodies FOREVER.) And the coloring books I've designed that have been a huge hit. In the last few years this small town artist has drawn, designed, and sold her very own coloring book....over 400 of them and her work can be found in three stores along the jersey coastline!
My confidence has grown and I can now call myself an ARTIST....
that incessant doodler is still in there.....she's just wearing her artist hat a little prouder these days
