In real life, she's a CPA, but having grown up with art all around her (her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother are/were all artists), it sort of infected her, as it were.She wants to expose the incredible beauty in this world, hidden beneath the everyday grime of familiarity and habit, and share it with others.
