Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road has been opened wide with wonderful opportunities for me to create and to give and share and teach.

I feel it’s important to keep growing as a designer and artist and evolve and keep listening to your inner soul.

The struggles could be now more my body changing and my vision and stamina has been challenging as I’ve been doing this for 33 years now …
As my body changes my artwork will adjust and grow and evolve.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
To find your foundation and inner strength and to listen to the voice within and act and create from it. Is fulfilling and courageous and somewhat mandatory to give service on this planet what I was suppose to do and be.

I believe in my life path and my service to the planet and beings through my art and design.
I just keep staying on the path with discipline and dedication til my last breath on this planet.

I live and love my life path as a designer and artist. Very grateful.

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
To be able to give my best in my art and design to others. This is so purposeful why I’m here and if I can bring inspiration or joy through my work for others . I am completely in peace.
