Welcome!

Hello there! I’m so glad you found your way here—chances are we met at a local market or an event in the Orlando area, and if so, thank you for stopping by my website! I love how local markets have deepened my connection to the community—it’s a joy to meet you all in person and share my work face-to-face. You’ll often find me at my booth with my biggest supporter—my amazing partner— and we are both more than happy to talk about our 3 cats!

My art journey started before I could even remember. I always had a collection of coloring books as a kid and gravitated towards fun, colorful crafts. I took several art classes in high school and started college pursuing a graphic design degree. Although I eventually graduated in another field, art never really left me. Like many creatives, I struggled with finding my voice in college. Struggling with self-doubt, I convinced myself I wasn’t “good enough” to be an artist.

That changed in 2020, during lockdown. I returned to art not to impress others, but to inspire and to find beauty in the little things. That’s when my small business was born. My current style is playful, vibrant, and detail-rich, often inspired by my love of cats and finding whimsy in the world around me. I started with acrylics and ink pens, and now mostly work with gouache and digital media such as Procreate. I love experimenting and pushing myself with new techniques—it keeps things exciting and inspires me to keep on growing. I started my business vending at markets with only 1 table selling stickers, cards, and art prints. Now I have my own brand and create shirts, tote bags, bumper stickers, and more. It wouldn't have been possible without all the love and support that I received from the community and people like you. 

Thanks again for being here. I hope my art brings a little joy to your day, just like creating it brings to mine.

THE INSPIRATION

Peanut

Peanut is the very first cat I ever owned and the cat that convinced me that I am meant to be a cat mom. Believe it or not, I was a dog person growing up and was taught that cats were mean. It wasn't until college that I went into a PetSmart, hoping to adopt a guinea pig. Behold, there was baby Peanut waiting for me in the adoption area, and it was kitty love at first sight.

She is quite timid and takes time to be comfortable with you, but once she does, she becomes the sweetest cat you’ll ever meet. She enjoys making biscuits, listening to all my problems, and taking lots of naps. She is my big baby and will always hold a special place in my heart! You could say that she is the reason I’m here creating the art that I do :)


Autumn

I adopted Autumn on my birthday. She was a street cat for a few years before I adopted her, and boy, can you tell. She has the attitude of a grumpy, bitter old man. There is a long list of things she does not like, which includes being picked up, receiving too many pets, and being cold. She likes to play roughly and will sometimes forget to retract her claws, which may have caused a few scratches. 

She is notorious for stealing food off the trash can, off your plate, or even from your fork as you raise it to put it in your mouth. She will bully my other cats if she randomly feels like it. 

Autumn is a sassy cat that has no problem giving you attitude, but she is also the neediest. She follows me around everywhere, sleeps next to me every night, she will be the first one to greet me at the door, and she will get jealous if I give the other cats more attention. She craves love on her terms. She is more like me than I realized, and I love her for it.


Monkey

It’s hard to come up with the words to describe this guy. Whinny! Stinky! Loud! Silly! and always napping!

He likes to announce verbally (and loudly) when he has to use the litter box and likes to get locked in the bathroom or closet doors. As the youngest cat and the only boy, he will endlessly annoy his big sister, Peanut, until she gives him a little slap. But according to his father, he can do no wrong.

He is famous for his incredibly soft fur! It seriously feels like one of those luxurious blankets. He is pretty social, playful, and gives plenty of love bites
