Before the world grew even wilder than when I was new to the planet, I was busy chasing my dreams. I am honored and privileged to have been seen, supported, and encouraged by many incredible artists and mentors on my path: Tim Gerron, Heath Tull, Lucy Sica, Sally Allen, Todd V Wolfson, REZ, Erik Gustafson, Ritchard Napierkowski, Salih & Tomar Williams, Johnny Goudie, Wesley Warnke, Dan & Ricci Wright and Bob McGhee.

Barbie and Ms. De Facto are facets of my personality that, in the corporate world, are often used to keep women underpaid and intellectually unseen. They were my aliases and protectors. It seems society struggles with the idea that a woman can be both sexy, have human needs, and be smart enough to earn as well as her male counterparts. Sanity is traded for vanity, so I appealed to it in hopes of a small paradigm shift. Through my art, I aim to show women that they are far greater than the confines of the stories we are groomed into—Barbie by default. Here is the body of work I have had the fortune to perform locally and internationally. Yes…I did this all before the Barbie movie existed.
