I am a born again Christian and am one girl out of two girls, seven boys in my family. I’m happily married to my best friend, Charles, whom I love very much.
Drawing is my passion and a way of expressing myself in order to inspire others. Striving to become an illustrator for children's book and other literature. I am constantly inspired by my Mother, who always encourages me in my artwork every day. My style is mainly conservative and cartoonish, based off my life's experiences and everything I see around me. People can relate to the emotions expressed by my character's emotions that are drawn on their eyes and faces.
I have my AA in Graphic Design and am continuing with freelancing.
