From a young age, I was drawn to creating with my hands — painting and crafting. But like many, I believed the only “real” path was a traditional 9–5 job, so I never considered art as more than a hobby. As the oldest of four, I grew up taking care of my siblings from a young age. I later worked briefly at a kindergarten and spent many years in the U.S. as a live-in nanny, which felt like a natural path because of my nurturing nature and love for little ones. Later, I transitioned into real estate — a good job, but not something I was passionate about. When people asked about “my why,” I didn’t have an answer. I was just moving through life without true direction.

Everything changed when I met my husband, who lead me into a deeper relationship with Jesus. The closer I walked with God, the clearer my purpose became. He reminded me that He plants gifts within each of us — not for us to hide, but to use boldly for His glory. For the first time, creating art felt like the right path. My work is now deeply rooted in faith and inspired by Christ. Every journal and piece of snail mail I create is a small way to honor God and share creativity and words that may inspire and strengthen others in their faith.
