About Me

I am a passionate artist and mental health advocate. My aim is to blend my love for art with my experiences with mental health and other issues to create a community of support and fight the stigma around talking about these shared experiences.

I learned a lot about self-advocacy through Jump Start Orientation at the Savannah College of Art and Design.  I attended the program in my first year of college, and then worked with Counselling and Student Support Services to help others learn the ropes of how, where, when, and why to get support for the rest of my years at SCAD.  This experience helped expose me to the idea that education of how to get help when needed and creating a supportive community are some of the most powerful things we can do to help others in any stage of their journey.

My journey with watercolor soap bubbles began in Graduate School at Texas A&M, where I took art and psychology courses that inspired me to explore the randomness and beauty of soap bubbles as a medium for artistic expression.
The unpredictable nature of painting with bubbles resonated deeply with me. I can sort of control the color by putting pigment into the soap bubble solution, but I cannot control the density of the color when it pops, where it will land, the size of the mark, or how it pops on the surface; will it splat or glide gently down, or will it stick for a bit before popping, or will it even hit the canvas at all? I can, however, control how I frame the piece in the end. It taught me to let go of perfectionism and embrace the unexpected outcomes, much like how we navigate the uncertainties of life. Through my Bubble Art, I strive to share this lesson with others, helping them reframe their perceptions and find more factual and solid ground in the face of challenges.
