I don’t think there was ever a time in my life when I was not creating something. Making things fuels my spirit and is very satisfying, especially when I can share it with others.

It's amazing how art can affect people. I love that art can make someone's mood better—even the design on a simple thing like a mug.

As an artist and human, I gravitate towards inspirational, motivational, and meaningful work that uplifts. I think it's important to surround ourselves with things we love and that bring us joy—for our mental and emotional health. I am grateful that with your purchase, I can donate a portion of profits to NAMI, an organization that works to improve the lives of millions of Americans affected by mental illness.

I hope my mugs bring you some joy, fun, and inspiration into your space.
