goddess portrait painter, author, photographer, and your guide to finding everyday magic.

Do you believe in magic?

Not the rabbit in a hat kind, but the infinite, mystical magic of the universe that surrounds you and flows though you?  
I do. I see it everywhere I look and I can feel it in my bones. I see it in the people around me. 

I wasn't always this way though.  
Living through a prolonged traumatic event gifted me with the ability of seeing and feeling in a capacity far surpassing my pre-trauma existence.

I'm grateful for the miracle of this ability.

My experience could have easily led me into the dark.
Luckily, it ignited an ember of hope within in me instead.
That wee little ember grew to be a guiding light that saved my life and gave me second chance at happiness.
My life is thriving today because I operate almost exclusively from a soul centered perspective. 
 
I want to teach you how to do the same.  
​I want to help you see, feel, and embrace how magical you are.
​To discover how magical the world around you is. 
To feel the gentle healing energy available to you and surrounding you. 
To seek magic and discover it wherever you look for it. 
  
Trauma and even the simple nature of being human can disrupt our ability to receive these gifts 
and make us wonder if they ever actually existed at all.

I'm sharing my experience through painting goddess portraits, writing healing books, and nature photography to show you how to rewire your brain, reset your rhythm, and change the fiber of your being from the inside out to manifest magnificent changes in your life.  To help you step out of the shadows and into the light. 
To fall in love with yourself and the world around you again.
