“Creating paper art with intricate details provides an opportunity to turn off and tune out, allowing me to tap into and discover whatever wants discovering.”

After a long career in business and project management, I began creating with paper as a way to unwind at the end of each day. While I initially viewed this as a fun outlet, I quickly realized my evening practice with paper art led to creative problem-solving and the generation of BIG ideas. Eventually, I built the courage to leave my business career to practice art full-time, trust in my creative process, and honor where it led me.

I draw from my personal journey as inspiration, empowering others to navigate life’s transition with creativity and clarity. My journey has led me to establish this online resource dedicated to fostering authenticity and personal growth through the practice of daily creative expression and reflection. Let me be the first to welcome you to The Studio Authentic!
