Art is the ability to provoke a feeling or emotion from somebody through something you create.

I painted when I was in high school. I graduated from university, where I majored in journalism. Once I completed my degree, I pursued modeling full-time. After two years of working in the modeling world, my dad said, " Why don't you start painting again?" So, I picked up my paintbrushes and began creating large abstract paintings. After completing my abstract works, I got a studio and visited galleries for representation. Many galleries did not take my art seriously because I was a model. So, I pivoted and decided to create art from modeling photos. I worked with one of my best friends, and I said I wanted to make magical sparkle girls who could do whatever they wanted. We worked with a photographer to bring this idea to life. After being photographed, I printed a large size of the image and painted glitter on top of the photograph. Another friend saw the work and asked me if I could use the same technique to create an artwork of her wedding photo with her husband.

As I was beginning this new technique, COVID-19 happened. No one wanted to buy big abstract paintings for their homes, but they might want to have glitter photos. So, I turned this glitter idea into a proper business and gifted four influencers who spread the word on their social media platforms.

My mission is to create art that makes people happy. I want my art to make someone smile. My vision is to continue immortalizing positive memories by throwing glitter into the world and making people smile.

I want to continue to grow my business and team.
