"Creativity is just intelligence having fun" she says! Tina has found a way to personalize a connection between people, mostly women, through thought and illustration, bringing imagination to life. It’s so much fun! Tina understands the value of women and the importance of their contribution to the community & future. She believes that we are not just women; we are everything great about this world, we are powerful, we are intentional, we are fire, we are water, the calm in the storm and the storm all at once. Women are everything.
