How many years have you been in Nashville? 8 years
Tell us what you are creating in Nashville? Currently, I am doing some painting classes and “Mommy and Me” crafting classes at Morgan Recreation Center. I have started dabbling in new types of mediums such as watercolors, embroidery, and textiles. I am very excited to widen my range of mediums and will be introducing them to my audience soon.
What inspires you? My inspiration comes from how colors and emotions connect with each other. It’s fascinating to see how different colors trigger the human response in a positive or negative way.
