About Me

About the Artist

Hi! Nice to meet you! I’m an artist who thrives in the peace and quiet of the countryside, yet I have an insatiable love for travel and discovering the wonders of the world. There’s so much beauty and inspiration to be found in every corner of life!

Animals hold a special place in my heart—I share my home with a lively crew of rescues who fill my days with love and laughter. #AdoptDontShop

My artistic journey began in a humble home filled with creativity. Both of my parents were talented artists, so from an early age, I was immersed in a world of imagination and expression. As a primarily self-taught artist, I’ve honed my skills over the years, pushing through challenges that tested my resilience.

At times, life was incredibly difficult—I experienced homelessness, living in tents, cars, and on friends' couches, struggling to care for myself and my beloved pets. There were heartbreaking moments when I had to make the impossible decision to give them up, knowing I couldn’t provide for them. That pain has never left me, but it has fueled my passion for helping others in similar situations.

Eventually, with hard work and determination, I was able to secure stable housing and pursue my education. Thanks to federal student aid, I attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, initially studying animation before transitioning to game art and design. My work made its way into the EverQuest and EverQuest II franchises, originally under Sony Online Entertainment. Though the company has since changed hands, my art remains part of the game world to this day.

Because of my own struggles, I deeply understand the critical need for accessible veterinary care, particularly spay and neuter services. These programs were a lifeline for me when I needed them most. That’s why I’m committed to giving back—a portion of every sale from my artwork goes toward supporting low-cost and free veterinary programs. No one should have to face losing a beloved pet due to financial hardship. Every fur baby deserves to stay in the home where they are loved.

Thank you for supporting my art and this mission—it means the world to me and the animals we can help together!
