My friends really do call me “Mismonsta” (or “Monsta”) and my hair really is not pink and purple, though that would be so cool!

I am based out of Portland, OR, formerly of sunny San Diego, CA - just please don’t ask me to choose a favorite. I love both! I actually moved here to attend Oregon College of Art & Craft (alumi 2014) and then STAYED. It’s cute here.

When it’s time to sit and create, my favorite media choices are always watercolor and ink. Procreate came in solid during the “PANINI”, but recently, I have been re-diving into painting with Acrylics which you can see in my gallery pop-ups.I am still optimistic I will bust out the oil paints again one day.

I draw a lot of mermaids and bones. And some fan art.

(If you have my business card, I’m also a professional bellydance and cabaret performer.

That’s what “Wigglies” means.)

Thank you for visiting my corner of the internet! 💓

And don’t forget to follow me on Bluesky!
