I am an artist and a survivor of domestic violence.
In August 2008, my husband tried to murder me in an act of domestic violence. Before beating me and strangling me to unconsciousness, he took a butcher knife and slashed ninety-four of my paintings. I have turned my second chance at life into advocating for victims of domestic violence. I am spreading my story by sharing my butchered artwork through gallery showings and speaking engagements. I have turned this passion for shining a light onto the ugliness of domestic violence into an organization called BAVA: Be A Voice Arts. As well as keynote speaking and gallery showings, I offer powerful workshops for victims to provide healing through artistic expression.

I would more than love to share my art, my story and inspire hope and healing.
