A full-time artist, art educator, and creative encourager.
I didn’t grow up with a pencil in my hand. In fact, I only started my art journey much later in life. But once I did, everything changed.
Art gave me a new way to see the world — and myself. It taught me patience, presence, and the quiet confidence that comes from showing up and creating something beautiful, one layer at a time.
Now, I’m here to help you experience that too.
I’m deeply passionate about teaching and absolutely love inspiring others to become a fuller, braver version of themselves through art.
If you enjoyed learning with me in the workshop, Luma is simply a way to keep drawing together — with more time, more depth, and ongoing support.
