Before moving to Tampa Bay, I did not really think about how much a place could influence the way someone creates art. I knew I loved making art and I knew I loved color, but I did not realize how much my surroundings mattered until I left Ohio. If you are from the Midwest, you probably get this. Everything feels gray a lot of the time. The sky, the buildings, the seasons. My boyfriend always jokes that everything in Ohio is gray, and honestly he is not wrong. Moving to Tampa

Curious about the tools behind handmade art? I’m sharing my favorite supplies—from vibrant paints to unexpected studio hacks—and showing how they help me create pieces I’m proud of.

As this year comes to a close, I just want to pause for a moment and say thank you . Truly. Every order, share, kind message, and word of encouragement has meant more to me than I can ever fully put into words.

If there’s one thing that’s been constant in my life, it’s my love for Lady Gaga — and my passion for creating art inspired by her. I’ve been drawing and painting Gaga since 2009, back when “Poker Face” was on repeat and I was just starting to explore what art meant to me. Here's my first ever drawing of Lady Gaga in 2009. It's funny to look back on now, but I was so proud of it in the moment! Over the years, my art has changed a lot — new styles, new mediums, new confidence.
