"Eco-Friendly" art
I care about the planet we live on and try to extend that care to my art practice.
I minimize plastics and acrylics in the creation and packaging of my art
I source second-hand framing materials, art and storage supplies, and low-value paintings for "repainting", and reuse packaging for shipping
I dispose of paint media as responsibly as possible so it doesn't contaminate water supplies with microplastics or toxic chemicals
I save scraps of paper and leftover art supplies and use them for future projects
As far as possible, I draw on recyclable paper, and recycle waste paper
An inspirational & educational series of art and comics about mental health and therapy.

artist bio
I started doodling in January 2020 as a creative outlet to heal from a traumatic event. It transformed me! Now, I make pieces in pen, copic marker, acrylic and watercolor paint, and mixed media.
I love comic strips, and have embraced the medium to make people laugh and reflect. I've heard from many people who have used the comics to start conversations with friends and family members. A few mental healthcare providers have even told me they've included my mental health-themed comics in their clinical training and practice. I'm deeply grateful to connect with people in this way.
I'm a Western New York native, and live in North Tonawanda, NY.
