One morning, after a vivid dream, I woke up with an idea that me to write. I found joy in crafting my characters, which eventually led to the creation of my trilogy, Escape To Phobos.

​

For a very long time I thought writing was simply a facet of being an artist, until one day after discussing it with my mother, she looked at me incredulously and said, "No, writing is something entirely different."

Her comment lingered in my mind, and ultimately I decided maybe she was right; after all, not many artists write, and few writers paint. (Not to mention -  mothers are usually right!)

People often ask me how I manage to do both (How does she pull it off?). While neither painting nor writing is particularly easy, I started and painting at the tender age of two. My artistic journey continued to evolve through high school and later at the University of Florida, where I briefly majored in drawing and painting before transferring to Graphic Design, a field which I was accepted.

Fast forward to 2012, when I had become an accomplished graphic designer, earning five Addy Awards through hard work and dedication. 

Painting, writing, and graphic design are my passions and my purpose. As an artist, I express emotions through painting, where words remain unspoken but felt. In contrast, writing allows me to articulate those thoughts clearly within the pages of my books.
