I love embellishing new and gently used garments by breathing new life into them with my unique designs and style. I began my therapeutic journey in 2021 in Thailand. There was a blazer that Billy Porter wore on the hit show POSE and I became fascinated. Later, I picked up a paintbrush and some textile paint and began to paint my energy into masterpieces. Painting and upcycling became a haven for me, a new therapeutic art outlet. During my time in Thailand, I came to realize that I needed to confront my childhood traumas, pain, and anger, and I started going to therapy. Doing the work inside allowed me to gain artistic freedom outwardly. This new outlet allowed my thoughts to flow freely, and my hands to move swiftly, but most importantly allowed my body to rest and be still. My unique creations are pretty amazing- if I do say so myself. I constantly push myself to explore outside my comfort zone and try something new. I'm so thankful my creativity is not limited. Engaging in upcycling art therapy provides a secure environment to heal, forgive, self-reflect, appreciate life, and set goals.
