I was born and raised in Saint Louis Missouri in 1985. My life has been truly a testament of strength and courage. I have experienced so many trials in my life and once I discovered art it was the breakthrough that I needed to push me towards my destiny. Art literally saved my life! Art has helped me tremendously cope with grief, trauma & depression. I currently reside in Milford, OH and shortly after losing my mother, I established my business "From Pain 2 Painting." I have so many ideas that I feel can benefit our community greatly. With depression, PTSD, trauma, and suicide ranking high in our community. I am humbled to be chosen by my higher power to give back and encourage others to give art a try!
