I'm a fanny pack slinging, award winning educator, who gets to make art as a living. (Woah, talk about dreams coming true!) I'm very into diet coke with lime, or an iced coffee (extra sweet), writing a good email (my newsletters are my favorite thing to write), and chasing down my wildest dreams.

I'm Cindy, your
new online BFF
+ biggest cheerleader.
To tell you the truth, it wasn't always like this...
In fact, just a decade ago you could have found me working 3 jobs, going to university full time, exhausted and feeling like the worst mother and wife. I missed out on so much, determined to be the first generation college grad in the family and start a career that I thought would be it for life.
But even with a graduate degree, many national awards later, and a rewarding career (that was emotionally draining)... I was still feeling like there was more to life and I was missing out. One day out of no where, my phone pinged with an affirmation notification, it read "It's never too late to start again." Little did I know, that the notification would give me the courage to seek a new adventure, and chase my wildest dreams. Today, you can find me snuggled up in our tiny home with my rescue pit or traveling back and forth between the beaches of Hawaii and Texas with my hunk of a husband and our beautiful and creative girl. Running a successful art business and supporting amazing dreamers along the way.
I was a wild child with big dreams. I thought one day I would grow up and become a certified country singer. I would sing my heart out any time I was given the chance. I had big dreams of living in a big city, and making music. Of course just in like in life, things change, and my dreams changed, but I always followed them no matter the challenges. Little Cindy would be proud to know that we checked off more dreams than she could ever hope for, even if all the singing we do now is at a Karaoke bar. She'd be so proud.

My Favorites
It was love at first sight when my husband brought him home from the shelter. He is the biggest cuddler.
My Rescue Pit
We love the ability to travel, some of our favorite places, are NYC, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. (because of all the museums!)
Traveling
Especially art museums, but we could spend a whole day exploring.
Museums with my daughter.
12 years together, and he's still my favorite person to go on adventures with!
Quality time with my boo.
I'm lucky I get to do all kinds of art, but my first love is watercolor pet portraits, that's what started this journey!
Pet Portraits
Everything in business is learnable, fixable, and figureoutable.
You don't have to be a workaholic
to be successful. Really.
You don't have to go at it alone.
It's ok to ask for help.
Rest is just as important as hustle. Daily naps? Essential.
