Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home mama by day, an aspiring artist and business owner during nap time, and this is my website. I hail from the Twin Cities in MN, have a fantastic husband, gorgeous son, and a golden retriever named Beyla. I love art, nature, and coffee!
… Before I became a stay-at-home-mom …
I completed my Bachelor of Arts from Concordia College in 2011, with a double major in Studio Art and Psychology with an aim to pursue a degree and a career in Art Therapy. I was thrilled to find a vocational path that combined my love for visual art with my passion for mental health and overall well-being. Then in 2013 I completed a Masters Degree in Art Therapy from La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia. I landed my dream job and an Art Therapist for M Health in 2015 in the child and adolescent day treatment programs. When my husband and I welcomed our son in 2017 I headed back to work after my maternity leave. My mind had been made up that I would stay in the career that I had worked hard to begin. And yet, I missed being with my son. We are so fortunate that one of us is able to stay home and care for our boy. I still work casually as an art therapist from time to time in outpatient services.
If you would like to see more of my artwork that is available for purchase, head on over to my etsy store. I’m so excited to finally be sharing my artwork with the world. Additionally I have another blog focused on offering encouragement and sharing in the journey of parenthood: Promoted To Parent
