My Story Shop Available Work As a United States Marine Corps veteran with 15 years of service and three deployments, my journey has been one of both challenge and transformation. After retiring to Austin, Texas, I found solace and renewal in the world of art, an exploration that began as a therapeutic outlet for my PTSD. Art has become my passion and healing journey, allowing me to express emotions and narratives that are difficult to articulate in words. I find great joy and fulfillment in creating unique drawings and ceramics, each piece a reflection of my experiences and my path to reclaiming peace. ​ I started Killer Queen Ceramics as a way to connect with people and share my story. The proceeds from my art sales are dedicated to continuing this life-affirming journey of creativity and healing. It helps make my creations more self-sustaining through reducing financial stress. Thank you for supporting my work and being a part of my transformative process. It has truly saved my life!
