Early Creative Aspirations
The earliest memory of creative aspirations was in second grade (age 7), when a piece of artwork was selected to represent a month in the school's annual printed calendar—ultimately chosen to be the cover art. However, it wasn't until a creative writing class in college, where I was recognized for exemplary work with a piece titled "The Value Of A Dollar In The Strip Club," that I discovered words are more than just letters strung together.
Adulthood: Now what?!
Breaking into adulthood like a bat out of hell, oblivious to any forthcoming trials and tribulations waiting in the lurch—finding myself in the undertow of several trauma-tsunamis and their triggering of debilitating mental and physical illnesses while in the throes of raising special needs kids. Like the sands through the hourglass, so are the days of my really messed up life—the universe, with its infinite possibilities, seemingly having shits & giggles with my soul, delivering a creative awakening coincided with my husband's terminal diagnosis of COVID-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
The Founding of Kraken Studios
Aiming to let others know that they are not alone, turning adversity into opportunity, I founded Kraken Studios in June 2020. My artistry surpasses uniqueness and is not even categorized as avant-garde—it is an experience: where imagination meets innovation—to strengthen human connections!
I've been told, "you take a lot of poetic license, even with the simplest text message—think about creating a dictionary for the rest of us!" And as I should have come with a warning label, my facial
expressions replied, "read between the lines".
But what about "The Real Booty"?
Branding, baby—branding! Storytelling Arrrrrrrrr-tistry: Pirates Beware! Kraken Studios is the treasure—The Real Booty!—From the literal logo in duality: a blend of profound symbolism and popular culture—and if you live in the pineapple under the sea, but you are making waves in the metaverse, you go tentacles-deep into everything! Plus, there is a fun anecdote of the word “Kraken” itself—the mystery will remain until it is revealed.

Embrace authenticity
Through all the challenges and hardships, I've found solace and purpose in my multi-media artistry. Each production and collection, is a testament to my resilience, my passion, and my unwavering belief in the power of creativity to heal and connect us.
In the darkest of times, art has been my beacon of light, guiding me through life's bumpy ride. It has allowed me to express emotions, to communicate with others on a deeper level, and to find beauty in even the most seemingly mundane aspects of existence.
These creative endeavors are not just a hobby or a career—it is MY PURPOSE; a way of seeing and experiencing the world that is uniquely mine. And through my artistry I hope to inspire others to embrace their own authenticity and release it onto the world.
