About Me

Therapy Fund Art didn’t start as a business idea.
It started because I was overwhelmed.

In March of 2020, my therapist told me I needed a cathartic practice. I had too much stored in my body. Too much unprocessed grief, memory, and history. A full canvas felt like too much commitment, too much pressure. So I chose small wooden circles. Tiny surfaces. Something I could finish.

I painted pieces that reminded me of my father.  He had big dreams of taking me to Montana to go Agate and Sapphire hunting. He had dreams of starting a family jewelry business at a time when I was too deep in survival to recognize what he saw in me. I wish now I would have taken that risk with him. After His passing in 2018, and one and a half of the hardest years of my life, I picked up a tiny paint brush and I painted emotion in miniature. Landscapes that reminded me of the man who took me all over the forests of the Pacific North West and whose heart was as big as the Big Sky Country he came from. It was manageable. It was honest. It was how I could begin facing his absence.

People admired them as I shared them on social media. They suggested I turn them into earrings. So, I did. Not because I was building a brand — but because it felt natural. When interest grew, I suddenly had a house full of earrings and a growing list of interested buyers. So I needed a way to move them out so I wouldn’t feel overwhelmed again.

That’s how Therapy Fund Art was born.

It was aptly named. The art funded the therapy. The therapy fueled the art. The purpose was always healing first — income second. I also recognized that the only way this was going to be sustainable is if I produced an income to pay for all of the supplies as well.

Over time, something shifted. I wanted to make jewelry that felt like me. Pieces with weight. Texture. Constrast. Intention. I moved from painted wood into stamped brass and wire-wrapped gemstones. My first attempt at the line I named it semi•PRESH and people loved it, but I quickly learned another Oregon artist had a similar business concept and name so I realized it was time to transform my business again. So I rebranded and named my jewelry lines semi•ARTISAN Jewelry Collections. Same general look and feel, but with a new concept behind it. semi•ARTISAN was a play on the fact that half of the jewelry was stamped brass charms and the other components were carefully prepared and assembled, wire wrapping beautiful briolettes and stones created the beautiful high contrast that semi•ARTISAN is known for today. I changed my logo more than once, changed my color schemes and fonts and through that process I discovered that designing logos, building brand systems, and creating visual identity thrilled me just as much as making jewelry itself.

As a young adult, I loved graphic design. I didn’t realize that passion was waiting for me to return to it.

From 2022–2024, I coached primarily domestic violence survivors at no cost to them. I had lived enough to understand toxic cycles. I saw the power in helping people break patterns through faith, love, and releasing fear. Those years were sacred. And then, in late 2024, I felt released from coaching. Not burned out. Not defeated. Released.

In 2025, my life pivoted again. I poured myself into ministry work—feeding the homeless, serving the impoverished, speaking life into people who felt forgotten. My faith deepened. My dependence on the Holy Spirit sharpened. Doors opened that I never could have strategized on my own.

Now, I’m in a new season.

I’m no longer offering general coaching or teaching art techniques. Instead, I’m helping artists build structure around what they already carry.

Because I’ve been the overwhelmed artist.
I’ve been the rebranding artist.
I’ve been the artist with talent but no system.
I’ve been the artist trying to figure out how to make creativity sustainable.

And I’ve learned.

Today, I offer brand design and visual identity systems for artists who are ready to be taken seriously — and who are ready to take themselves seriously.

I build:
• Brand identity kits
• Shopify Websites
• Logos and cohesive visual systems
• Canva-based assets artists can actually manage
• Strategic clarity so creatives can move forward with confidence

I don’t believe in branding that strips your voice. I don’t believe in hollow aesthetics. I believe in alignment. I believe your business should support your life — not consume it.

My jewelry business continues to grow, and in 2026 we are opening wholesale for the first time. That growth didn’t come from hustle alone. It came from structure, clarity, and obedience to each season I was led into.

If you’re an artist who has already said yes to selling your work — but now you need your business to reflect the depth of what you create — this is where I meet you.

Not at the beginning.

But at the threshold of your next level.
