I Turn Ordinary Shoes & Accessories Into Works Of Art!

My shoe painting journey began with an old pair of shoes I wanted to bring back to life. It was a pair of dyed satin shoes that had water stains on them from getting caught in the rain. Since the shoes were already damaged, I thought what harm could a little paint do? So, I began my experiment. The end result was a peacock with crystal accents within the painted feathers. To my surprise, that pair sparked a lot of interest which led to the growth of my small business. Now, I enjoy transforming ordinary shoes & accessories into functional works of art.

Each piece that I have created is special to me. Every piece has been put together to convey a certain feeling or thought. My hope is that all those viewing my works will feel as connected to my pieces as I do.

My artistic style is a bit eclectic. I like to use bright colors & eye-catching designs to make my shoes stand out. I don't like to restrict myself when it comes to creating. I prefer to create according to how I feel in that moment. In a lot of my earlier works I used color pencils and pens. As my style and technique developed I moved on to using a variety of mediums in order to produce functional works of art. I hope to continue working with new materials & growing as an artist.
