I believe life needs art. We need dreamers, makers, creators, poets, lovers, and genuine humans of all types to fill up the dark corners of the world with their own brand of amazing. We need the courage to rebel against norms, resist status quos, and vandalize the universe with deep, soulful beauty. So I'm doing my best to brave the void (yikes) and put my self out there in the hopes of inspiring others along the way. So grab a can of metaphorical spray paint and come break some things with me. ♥ Lisa
