Beauty is inside this page. Beauty is inside each of us. And beauty is inside… a bunch of F-words: fine art, fashion jewelry, flowers, fables, film, and feminism. 

​

I’m a visual artist and a writer with a master’s degree in interdisciplinary studies–psychology/sociology. I take an interdisciplinary approach to art as well, and I work on a variety of creative projects. I like to make connections and combine mediums to bring my ideas to life.

​

I started Beauty Is Inside to inspire readers to see their own goodness and to empower them to question what's truly ugly, like how society over-values certain people and uses misogyny, racism, homophobia, etc. to keep the rest of us down. 

 

My artistic style pairs realism with bright, cheerful colors and delicate details, as you see in my floral paintings and Sparkling Vine jewelry. But that sparkling vine has thorns and those flowers fight the power. I make subversive art–art that juxtaposes beauty and danger, art that disrupts the status quo, art that challenges society and makes you think. This is the inspiration behind my art prints, Fable Books, and upcoming short film.

​

Art is about connection. It brings us together in ways that transcend language or culture. To create or to appreciate art is to be human. And we're all connected–beauty is inside each of us. Everyone is welcome here.​

This is my mini F-world... a feminist fable-tale world of fairness and freedom for all. We have pretty flowers and jewelry, cute critters, and inspiring words here. Welcome to my world. Welcome to Beauty Is Inside…
