Support My Journey Back to Life Through Art

Donation protected
I almost died in 2023.

A tumor in my heart (yes, I named her Trixie) led to open heart surgery—and for a while, everything in my life got very small.

Slow. Quiet. Uncertain.

Since then, I’ve been rebuilding—my strength, my creativity, and my ability to live fully again.

Now I’ve been given an opportunity to travel to Costa Rica for my first major photo shoot since surgery. This isn’t just a trip—it’s a turning point.

And I need a little help getting there.

Supporting this means you’re helping me create a body of work born from survival, recovery, and the process of coming back to life. Every bit of support directly helps make this possible.

If my work has ever moved you, made you feel something, or if you simply want to support an artist rebuilding after something hard—I’d be incredibly grateful to have you in this.

Thank you for being part of this next chapter.
