i am a Mother of two and an artist currently residing in EASTERN TENNESSEE.    i create symbolist paintings that combine my love for fashion and music videos, and my childhood growing up in disneyland, with imagery reflecting my role as a parent, and as a daughter suffering the loss of her parent. my work is often viewed as fantastical and jubilANT IN FEELING, while PROVIDING INTROSPECTION INTO grief and symbolic images on the meaning of an "afterlife."
