My story

I have been making art since 2015 and freelance writing professionally since 2022. I’ve curated the brand of One Groovy Gal since 2016 and have made over 3000 sales and hundreds of custom artworks.

My shop was originally named “Oneloveartshop” for the first few years because I love Bob Marley and any kind of loving message advocating peace and empathy.

I am now a part time artist and writer making empowering, groovy art centered around spirituality, activism, nature, and pop culture.

I often create collections of works centered around a theme and then donate a portion of profit to a charity or philanthropic cause. Since 2016, I have run a “Save the […]” series of 3 stickers and donated a portion of overall profit to the Ocean Cleanup, Chimp Haven, and Save the Elephants. In February 2025, I painted a bird collection and donated over $150 toward the Nature Conservancy. I have also run sales toward a cause; in 2024 I ran a sale in order to donate a portion of profit to Amnesty International, a human rights organization.

I have plans to expand the philanthropic scope of my artwork and am excited to see how we can help make the world a better, more loving place together.

The blog here is where I practice and explore my craft as a writer and lifelong learner. I also write freelance for two magazines, including a local travel guide called The Outer Banks This Week, as well as a literary publication based in Rome called The American where I have a monthly book column.
