Inspiration & Imagination
I am a mixed-media creative professional with expertise in design, illustration, and photography. My work is rooted in visual storytelling and creative problem-solving, with a passion for sparking conversations around sustainability, mental health advocacy, and imagination.
I hold a BA in Visual Communications, graduating Summa Cum Laude from Seattle Pacific University, with double minors in 2-D Media and Digital Media. My career spans multiple creative roles, including my current position as the Marketing Manager for Ben Franklin Crafts. There, I develop and execute marketing campaigns, manage community events and classes, and create strategic content to drive engagement. Additionally, I serve as an art educator, teaching acrylic painting workshops that foster an inclusive and accessible learning environment.
Previously, I was the Visual Communication Specialist for Helion Energy, where I designed visual assets to support the future of fusion power and clean energy innovation. My creative roots trace back to Gold Bar, Washington, where the breathtaking Cascade Mountains, lush forests, and diverse wildlife continue to inspire my work.
Beyond design, I embrace entrepreneurship through @The.Moon.Makers, where I sell original artwork and live paint at events, and @LunarLily.Studios, where I offer freelance creative services and art prints. Whether through design, illustration, or fine art, I strive to craft compelling visuals that resonate and inspire
Artist StatementÂ
I am passionate about crafting art that reflects genuine human experiences. My inspiration is drawn from real-life moments, emotions, and the diverse tapestry of my own existence. I'm fascinated by the subtle nuances of everyday life, exploring the beauty found in the ordinary and the authenticity of human connection and conciousness of nature.
My creative process is a deliberate exploration of self-discovery, a journey into introspective moments. It involves embracing vulnerability and releasing emotions that no longer contribute positively to my well-being. I navigate the complexities of personal attachments, shedding the weight of external judgments and learned criticisms.
This artistic journey is my way of seeking self-acceptance and building a meaningful connection with the world around me. Through my art, I strive to find inner peace, nurturing my consciousness like a garden in full bloom.
