About Me

I am an artist born with cerebral palsy. While I wasn't able to play like an average kid, it gave me a lot of time to obsess over learning to draw Disney characters. I am thankful for the dedication and time that my disability has given me to honing my craft, and I never want to stop learning.

When I'm not drawing, I'm cuddling my kittens or improving my pet snails' bioactive terrarium.
