Back in 2006, I fell in love with the freedom and expressiveness of abstract art and began my journey of design through the use of mixed media such as acrylic, spray paint, and glitter to name a few. Painting is my happy place where I get lost for hours and really put myself out there. Most work/jobs/activities are done to please someone else, but when I paint, it’s to please myself. It’s always a huge bonus when other people like the work that I’ve done too.
When I make custom pieces for you, it’s helpful to have photos of the space where the art will hang, and some color palette suggestions (if matching some colors to your space is a requirement). After that, the rest is up to me. Typically, everything works out nicely because I always give more options than needed to ensure my clients are really happy with their investment.
Painting on large canvases gives me the most freedom to work through my ideas and designs, but occasionally, I’ll paint on smaller items too. Also, my prints are now available on canvas bags and iPhone cases.
Keep an eye out! More items are coming soon!
Since Elementary school, I’ve loved working with my hands and mesmerized by the colors and textures of beads, metals, stones and crystals.
The fire grew within and I wanted to create my very own looks and combinations. In 2014, I began experimenting with costume jewelry. By 2018, I decided to start developing design ideas for fine jewelry.
For me, jewelry is more than self-expression; it’s calming, inspiring, and empowering. It brings me joy to create custom pieces for friends, family, and more recently, brides for their wedding day. I’m also happy to make gifts for bridal parties.
I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 2011. Hairstyling is my main passion and fortunately, I always knew I wanted to work specifically in the realm of weddings and production. In 2015, AILLE Beauty was born to provide hair and makeup services by a team of professionals, including yours truly. You can read more about AILLE Beauty here.
There are certain items I can’t get enough of around my house; body butter and candles are at the top of my list. I was spending so much money on these items and the quality was good, but always too expensive. So, I created something more affordable with the best quality ingredients, and of course, I wanted to share them with you too!
My favorite season for beauty is working with our brides. Trust is number one. Brides have enough to worry about on their special day, their hair and makeup shouldn’t be a concern. You can trust me and the team members of AILLE Beauty to exceed your expectations. For more information and photos of my work visit: AILLE Beauty
In 2015, I began hosting special events that combine beautifully eclectic art, music, and handmade goods. In total, 80 different vendors have had the opportunity to showcase their work at both small and large events (up to 700 guests).

Since I can remember, I’ve been a hands-on-learner, and used my imagination to create.
I also happened to be the class clown. When things got too quiet (boring!) and I wasn’t allowed to doodle or forced to pay attention to some terrible topic, I made a joke of myself to make people laugh.
Over the span of 15 years working in the restaurant/bar/club industry, I had hosted more parties than I could count and learned a lot about people in the process. This was a season in my life that was valuable, but in 2011, I needed a change. That’s when I decided to take the plunge and pursue Art (in all it’s various forms) full time, and haven’t looked back since.
We all come to realizations at different times in our lives. I had come to find that I was focusing my energy on the wrong things, including some bad habits. I decided that some things needed to change. I realized that if I could put all my focus and energy into doing more positive things that bring me joy, and make some money from those passions and hobbies, that would be a total win-win! Crafting things is my favorite and I enjoy sharing with people even more.
Thank you for visiting / re-visiting and supporting my dreams. I hope something I’ve created sparks joy for you.
