I’ve always been a bit of a space cadet of cosmic proportions—head in the clouds, dreaming up all sorts of big and small ideas, always leaving a wake of unfinished projects, careers, passions, boyfriends, and other detritus strewn behind me. After earning a (cough) BS in Cinema & Photography and an MS in IT/Web Design, I then spent nearly 20 years working several jobs as a front-end web developer. And then, at the end of a long, slow, fiery burnout, I still didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up. I MEAN DOES ANYONE THOUGH? serious question, message me your thoughts. At 43, I was (not so surprisingly) diagnosed with ADHD, and that intensely emotional and complex journey has added new layers to my art, turning it into a stinky onion of connection, frustration, compassion, anger, and self-discovery. Yeehaw!

COSMICFREDEE has honestly been years in the making, evolving through some pretty weird iterations before finally landing where we are today. I’d like to believe that it all came into focus when I began to stop battling my neurodivergence and started trying to work with it. Once I embraced my unique brain and leaned into my struggles, everything started pouring out. Fredee, my sleepy yet superhuman sloth alter ego, her chicken friends and all the other googly-eyed weirdos in the COSMICFREDEE universe are happy you’re here. BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
