The 5149 substack is all about my journey from 911 dispatcher to artist, to now, where I am an artist, writer, and mom to an autistic son and rescue boxer. You’ll find stories about my artwork, my writing, a look at my boxer Betsey (aka Management) and my son (aka the Intern) in the studio and all our efforts to fundraise for boxer rescues.

Why subscribe?

If you love art and boxer dogs, this is the place for you. I’ll keep it positive and uplifting. I won’t mention politics.

If you want to go deeper and see more of Management and the Intern behind the scenes, read about our journey with the Intern and autism, and get the monthly feature “Dear Smoosh Face”, you can always upgrade your subscription.
