It was for a stillborn baby, and from then on, her work took on a purpose.
“My heart and soul belong to my memorial pieces. I have mastered the art of ‘likeness’ and have used that mastery to create portrait pieces for families who have lost children in pregnancy, birth, to SIDS, or other illness. In all actuality, 90% of my work falls into this realm because this is where my passion lies — my motivation behind my creations,” she says.
“It fills me with so much joy to know that I can share this talent with those who are still trying to find their tangible peace. Even if what I have created only fills the void for a brief moment, I’m forever glad that I was able to help with that solace for the road of grief is not mapped out very well.”
