Why I Do What I Do
At the heart of my work is a deep passion for bringing people together to create, connect, and engage in conversations about the creative process. I believe that creativity is a powerful force—one that inspires, heals, and transforms. Read more
First and foremost, I simply love being around creative people. There’s an undeniable energy when ideas flow, hands move, and imagination takes shape. But what excites me even more is when someone says, “I’m not creative.” To me, that’s an open invitation—an opportunity to help them discover the creativity they never knew they had.
I especially enjoy working with both young and older adults, seeing how their stories, experiences, and perspectives can sometimes intertwine in unexpected and meaningful ways. Creativity becomes a bridge between generations, offering a space where wisdom meets fresh ideas, and where shared experiences take on new life through art.
Watching that spark ignite in someone—the moment they realize they can create—is an incredible feeling. It’s why I do what I do. Whether through collage, assemblage, or simply encouraging someone to see the world differently, I want to make creativity accessible to everyone. Because deep down, I believe we all have the ability to express ourselves—we just need the right space and encouragement to bring it to the surface.
CREATIVE CONNECTION
As the co-founder of a Creative Connection group when I lived in New Jersey, I re-established it in my new community in South Carolina.
Creative Connection is dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment that welcomes and inspires artists, musicians, poets, and creatives of all genres. It offers opportunities for all to meet, exchange ideas, share creative journeys, experiences, and insights, thus cultivating artistic excellence. Click To Learn More
WORKING WITH TEENS
I introduced my creative workshops to share my passion for art with young people in my community and to create a space where they could freely explore their own creativity. I quickly realized that kids aren’t easily impressed—so I made it my mission to find fresh, engaging ways to spark their interest and show them that making art can be fun, expressive, and meaningful.
