Hi, I’m Ally!
I’m here to celebrate life as it is and awaken our limitless imaginings for what’s to come. With lots of vibrant colors.
Preschool Ally declared she wanted to be an artist, and 20 years later at the end of 2020, I finally decided to listen to her. I owe her a huge thank-you and she owes me an emphatic “I told you so!”
During those 20 years, I collected illuminating experiences studying creative writing/running track at Notre Dame, living/ working in Slovenia and Honduras, and dabbling in some non-profit/teaching.
Today, I’m a painter, writer, actor, and model based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania— but more than anything, I’m just a human in awe of how life befriends a stubborn dreamer, in ways even the wise preschool Ally couldn’t have foretold. I seek to use my platform to uplift the fellow stubborn dreamers walking with me.
Thanks for stopping by today! I’m so grateful to connect with the unprecedented you ♡
