I am a self-taught artist and go by the name Bitter Darlings. My artistic journey began as a form of therapy and is one of the bravest things I’ve done in my whole life.  Being an artist in itself is a very vulnerable act.  My goal as an artist is to celebrate and represent women through my art, women who get up and get it done, live life to the fullest, and crave wonder and grace all while giving back and making a difference. I call these works of art “Bitter Darlings” because they embody whimsical, messy versions of perfectly imperfect beauty and highlight the importance of acceptance and understanding of inclusivity, equality, and our own unique being. One of my purposes is to find beauty everywhere, to romanticize my existence, and create art from chaos. It is my hope that Bitter Darlings encourages confidence, fearlessness and self-love.
