I was born into a family, and to parents who were ill equipped to care for children, and there were four of us. I am the youngest. Because of this trauma experience, and the emotional investment I made in my healing, I developed a passion for emotional well being and mental health. I believe that when we learn to unconditionally love, accept & even forgive ourselves, we are able to offer love, acceptance and forgiveness to others, with the result being happier more content, emotionally healthy people, and gosh, the world sure seems to need this, right?

Bloom True is my soul work & my gift to you - think of me as a soft light, if you will,  on your own creative journey of self- discovery, self-love, self-compassion, and so much more that is good about YOU. Because of my artistic and creative background with Terri Conrad Designs, (which is all self learned by the way, and discovered in my early forties) I have discovered that we can touch parts of our soul through art making & creative expression.

Creative expression is my oxygen. What’s yours?

I am married to a wonderfully kind & supportive man, with two young adult children, the oldest non-binary, and the youngest a daughter. Family is EVERYTHING to me. We have an adorable English Creme Golden Retriever, Piper. She’s the sweetest. But, I know everyone with a Golden says this.

I was in the film Jerry Maguire in my early thirties when I was pursuing acting. (A fun conversation fact)

I LOVE dark chocolate.

I adore the ocean, it is my soul’s home and I hope one day to live there again.

I am a So. Cal girl through and through ☀️💛

Art isn’t just about creating something beautiful; it’s about nurturing your inner artist, your experience and your journey in the art making process - and it’s about honoring your unique voice.

Pablo Picasso once said, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” What if you could listen to that child-like spark within you—inviting your inner artist out to play, to create, and to grow?

You are a gift to the world, and now is your time to bloom. Let's embark on this journey together, celebrating your creative spirit and the beauty only you can bring into the world.
