I’m Brooke!
I would love to be your guide and biggest cheerleader wherever you’re at in your artistic journey! Creating has been an innate need of mine for as long as I can remember. Diving deep into every creative hobby that I could get my hands on has been one of the mainstays of my life thus far.
After years of floundering and feeling lost, my mental health was unstable at best. I was constantly beating myself up for not being able to hold down a “real job” and my depression and anxiety almost got the best of me. That’s a scary place to be. It was through returning to my passions and embracing my creativity that I was able to come out the other side. While not every day is sunshine and rainbows my art practice and connecting with other like-minded creatives is the spark that fuels me to carry on.
Until recently I didn’t think I deserved to claim the title of “Artist” because in school we were taught that artists had to be able to draw realistically. I didn’t fit that mold - so just another reason to add to the list of why I felt like I didn’t fit in. My journey to claiming that title has been long and at times difficult. (We are our own worst critics, amiright?) But I can now confidently say, that when someone asks me that dreaded question, “What do you do?” I can proudly say, without hesitation, “I am an Artist.”
Maybe you can relate to my story? I would love for you to join me wherever you may be in your artistic journey. Whether you are discovering art for the first time or you’ve been around the block a time or two. Welcome. I am so thankful to have you here.
