Belles & Ghosts

I dream too much. If there is such a thing. I smile at strangers and love to hear their stories. I'm passionate. About everything. I spend my days dreaming up ideas that I hope help others enjoy the beauty of life. I'm an emotionally-driven curator with an affinity and deep connection to the things that motivate memories, feelings and nostalgia. I have an angel for a son and an amazing bearded fiance. Both of which fuel my intense desire to create a world that is in constant reverie. With a backdrop of river and woodland scenery, I exist to nurture and develop a unique life; for myself, my family and for my clients. I began my career as a photographer working for my high school newspaper, later moving on to an internship with the late Sonny Azzara, one of St. Louis' renowned photographers. In a darkroom in the Midwest when I was 16, Sonny taught me the fundamentals of catching light and moments. Soon after, I received a Design Diploma from The Art Institute so that I could incorporate my art and illustration into my love for imagery and hauntingly hopeful designs. From here - I engage the things bumping around in my imagination into designs for the home, for living that are then printed by USA-based companies that I am very proud to be partnered with. I involve myself in many different creative endeavors and pursue avenues in my business which make my soul smile.
