A Little bit about me

I started doing a variety of art at a very young age and continued it throughout high school. In Jr. High, I was introduced to a new passion of musical theater which consisted of acting, song, and dance; all different types of art and expression.

When I enrolled in college, I pursued theater as well as continuing in my other passions. In 2015, I graduated Azusa Pacific University with a Bachelors in Theatre Art accompanied by a Minor in Art with Concentrations in Ceramics. I then moved to San Diego and was hired by Kaman's Art Shoppes at the San Diego Zoo where I fell in love with more art! Face Painting, Henna Tattoos, and Glitter Tattoos. I later self-taught myself Balloon Twisting and hope to add more services soon!

Before covid, I provided private and group art instruction, create personalized projects, and worked private, company events and festivals as a face painter, henna and glitter tattoo artist, and a balloon artist. Along with this, I also taught group painting classes at the Brew Coffee Spot in La Mesa! 

Since Covid started, I’ve had to put a halt on in-person events for the sake of my at high risk daughter. Because of this, in Oct of 2020, I started teaching online weekly (via Youtube and Patreon) and have grown an incredible online painting community! My Facebook now has over 10,000 followers and it’s crazy, but I look forward to painting with all of my students world wide and having them share their work with me!

I absolutely love what I do and how I get to share these passions I have for art! Thank you for visiting my website and I hope to speak with you soon!

In addition to my artsy jobs, in my early college days I found a partner dance called West Coast Swing and fell in love with it. My Husband and I teach classes compete in local competitions. Feel free to check it out:
