"This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind.
For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it."
- Thomas Jefferson
​
I'm an artist and musician through and through. I have gone from the beloved east coast, to the deserts of Arizona, to California dreamin' and back again. All along the way, music and paint call to me. I have done murals, props, movie make-up, body painted a naked parade, burlesque, solo singer/guitar shows, performance art, costume for theatre, book cover art, album cover art, sculpture - if it can be created, I believe I can do it. Home is now where I was born: Long Island.
​
I create with every molecule of what makes me who I am, in as relatable a way possible. The messages speak for themselves. On this peregrination through life, the greatest thing I've found - the most resounding mantra that makes sense to me is this: art is not a thing, it is a way. It is the same with music. I create both in a unique and stylized way that is cherished and memorable, in order to increase happiness and awareness for everyone.

Herstory
Small town girl becomes rather disenchanted with the uprise in commercialization of creativity, and through her early-to-mid adulthood works as an office administrator and behavior coach.
Though moderately fulfilling, this life left something to be desired for the singer and artist within. My energies have, over the years, always gone back to the realm of art and this is where I find myself today. I am ensconced within the nethers of Long Island, amid the influences of the Parrish Art Museum, positive living artists and Jackson Pollock' s ghost. Short story shorter: I paint and make music from Manhattan to Montauk. Many of the visual works depicted on here were customized personally. If you have ideas for a piece you would like me to construct, whether art or music, I'm all about it.
The Future
Expressing in Visuals
and Sounds
I paint with song and scene, I work hard make stories more relatable: to inhabit emotion and replicate it in person and in the crafting of images or sounds, in a unique and very personal way. I want to create new ways of unmasking sounds that haven't been done before. Collaboratively or singularly, I create as continuously as possible.
​
I see myself continuing in art and music - professionally through the remainder of my time on the planet. I sing with my soul and paint the same way. I love to seek the vision of others and help them to make their dreams tactile in the best way I know how. through the use of visual media; I am compelled to create from a true, emotional, honest place and I am grateful for each day I have to beautify the world.
