The Full Story
This is my about page! I am an adult woman who has never made a website before. I was born in Jackson, California. Gold country. I didn't stay there long. It was time to move forward... Just kidding, I didn't have a choice. I was one half of a set of twins to a struggling young mother and we moved around the state every few years. What's crazy to me is I've stuck around LA for longer than I've ever lived anywhere and I still don't really understand if I fit in here or not. It took me the entirety of my 20s to figure out anything about myself (pretending that I have anything figured out) so I am a recently 30s gal trying to live my dream. Not having a stable home growing up was a challenge but I think it helped me learn to appreciate what I do have and to be happy with less. I love art and creation and expression! I am especially interested in sustainability and the concept of zero-waste. Everything that we need is here for us, it is possible to use the materials that we have to make beautiful things. I think that there is more than enough to go around and we need more love and joy and expressions of that. I want to comfort and love people with my art. I want to share what I have, and inspire others to do the same. yada yada yada TO BE CONTINUED
