Animals are amazing and never deserve to be harmed or abused. My whole life I have loved animals and once I opened my eyes to the horrors of the food industry and beyond I became vegetarian and never turned back. Over 10 years of dedication to prove my support in all areas of my life and I am proud and happy to be a part of the cause. I believe all earthlings deserve a life without harm, abuse, and death for no reason.

This year for my birthday I am raising money for Mercy For Animals and your contribution will make an impact, no matter how much you donate. Every little bit helps. Since 2018, MFA has potentially impacted 65.5 million animals through corporate animal welfare policies, 40.7 million through legislative policies, and spared 212,900 through institutional food policies. Help them do the good work and fight for animal rights everywhere.

The Desire to Create

This truly resonates with me because as long as I can remember I felt an urge to create. Anything really. The arts just happened to be the true connection I had with the people around me. It enabled me to express myself in ways that were necessary. Whether it was drawing, capturing my vision through a lens, writing and playing music, digital design, creating unique spaces, collage, putting my thoughts and feelings on paper, or painting… I dove in and opened myself up to theworld. Creating was something I was born to do. It keeps me alive. It gives me purpose. The desire that fuels the fire within me will never fade. It’s just not possible. I simply cannot imagine who I would be without it. So I honor the gifts I hold and spread as much beauty as I can. I’m just so grateful.
