Her career has evolved throughout the years and among other projects, she helps parents maintain healthier and stronger relationships with their children, as well as, discipline and raise confident, independent children.

Throughout the years, she has observed how art has the potential to affect the emotions, psychological states, and moods of people.

Her insight and understanding of the psycho-emotional issues many artists experience have helped her develop practical mindset and emotional wellness resources artists may benefit from as they grow their art career. She believes that artists who maintain an optimal wholeness balance (Mind, Body, Soul) can enjoy healthier lives while making a greater impact in this world. She enjoys developing seminars, programs, and resources that are relevant to the thriving contemporary artist, especially brainstorming with artists about their career development and emotional well-being.
