About ARK

As long as I can remember, I’ve been expressing my emotions through writing and visual arts. It started as a coping mechanism to escape the reality of domestic violence. But now I use it as an immersive catalyst into my current reality, and as a gateway to meaningful connections.

My main inspiration revolves around the anatomy of the spirit—especially in connection to nature. As an empath, I’ve always been sensitive to the energies and emotions of others. This led to intentional exploration of the mind, body, and soul: finding that continual expression develops easier access to the human psyche.

I am currently in pursuit of a Masters in Art Therapy. My dream of becoming a full-time artist grows more palpable each day. I’ve become apart of the local art community: most recently accepting the position of gallerist for the Arts Center of St. Peter. In my free time I enjoy live painting and performing with my bands at local music and wedding venues throughout Southern Minnesota.
