Thank you for wanting to know a little more about me. My name is pronounced sa-roam and it's of Cambodian origin. I'm an introvert who embraces short moments of solitude, a military wife, homemaker, and homeschooling mom; these roles challenge me and help to stretch me. I'm navigating life with some health challenges and learning to cultivate rest throughout the day. I'm grateful to be able to share my creative ideas and art with you when the days are not so busy or challenging. I believe, that in this life, we will not ever be completely free from suffering and, although, we may go through trials, these trials increase my personal belief that they will turn out for good when we place our hope in God. I'm grateful to be saved by grace and growing in my relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the source of my hope, purpose, and strength. I hope, as I grow as an artist, I grow into a deeper relationship with my Heavenly Father.
I enjoy fine art photography and capturing images of nature and unusual perspectives. Precious babies and most mini animals (minus some scaly/slimy ones) definitely make me smile. I find joy in my children's laughter, reading out loud with them, and laughing together with my husband, usually at something so mundane or random. I also enjoy cooking, eating "animal style" fries from In and Out (yummers!), walking in nature, and getting rid of things. When time permits, you'll find me running my other website, Doodle Thinks, where I share children's educational art and design resources to encourage creative thinking. Overall, I'm thankful to be in this journey of slowly crafting a simple life with my family, while making a habit of daily gratitude.

A SIDE NOTE TO MY READERS
Due to my demanding, but joyful role as a homeschooling mom, I try as much as possible to dedicate any creative time left over for actually creating something. Therefore, I'm harder to reach than most artists since I don't utilize social media, and as much as I would like to be more active with online networking, I'm not good at it as it takes too much time away from my family and friends. But I'm grateful to be able to share some of my art online, and hope that you'll be inspired and encouraged. Meet me here and thank you for reading my words!
With gratitude,
