Q+A

Describe your home in 3 words

Simple, light, love-filled.

Beverage of choice

Need at least two cups of coffee with cream first thing in the morning. All about sparkling water when I'm out socializing.

What do you listen to when you work?

Love me some Erykah Badu.

During my breaks, I tend to ...

Get a snack, sit outside if possible, listen to podcasts, browse Instagram, be on Pixelmator trying out ideas on top of works in progress.

When I'm not making art, I'm (a) ...

Mom of two kiddos, so I'm making snacks for them, answering lots of questions, cleaning up messes ;) What I love to do for myself is go for a long bike ride through a forest trail followed by some yoga and meditation.

Why is it important for people to have art in their home or life?

Art in a space is the icing on the cake. It really pulls a room together and adds life, interest, and vitality. Original art in the home is a joy!
