Born and raised in Buffalo, NY and currently residing in Charlotte, NC. I graduated Class of 2009 from "Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts" hs where I've gained my extensive passion for the arts. As a visual arts major I've studied everything from painting & drawing, sculpture & printmaking, to graphic design & photography in which that is where my heart lies.

 

I moved South to further pursue my dreams of photography, fashion and design in late summer 2011. I launched my very own brand of womans bowtyes [LavishLadiesBowTyes] in honor and dedication of my late bestfriend Jamequa Alvinae Medler who passed away summer 2009.

 

In the pursuit of my dreams I've run into some hardships but do I've been told "God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers" and here I stand. I am and have always been an "I like art" type girl, looks like I'm gonna die that way ;]
