When my first teachers asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I replied, "I am an artist."  It had already been written into my bones.  Since my youth I have pursued an array of creative endeavors, from creating 30-foot tall fully functioning catapults out of wood, to riding to South America on a giant unicycle, to creating a children's book completely illustrated with my feet.  Each time, I ruled out all the impossibilities. Now, as a professional poet and artist, I strive to crack expectations wide open – others' expectations of themselves and the world as well as my own expectations of my own self and the world.  I do this with the help of imagery often paired with words.  I have published two children's books, two divination decks, a card game, a memoir, and a book of poetry.  I also run a small-scale business which sells my greetings cards designs and vinyl stickers.  Since 2019 I have worked as a professional poet, servicing weddings, events, and busking in downtown Asheville, NC, engaging with walk-up clients by asking questions and typing a poem on a vintage typewriter.

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
