Want to collaborate with me so I can highlight your brand or business and take it to a new glow?
I can help you accomplish any goal you have with your product or service! Guaranteed! You know why? In 2018, I had the biggest challenge of my life battling breast cancer. I stayed positive in all my posts and focused on the good…and my health and creativity was glowing despite my temporary health trial. I won the battle and learned the biggest lesson in my life, so now I share it with the world!

“Life is what you make it, so make it fun and meaningful. I can help you SHINE your most beautiful LIGHT in anything you do!”-Marie Elena Cortes
It was an honor to be one of the “art angels” at a Houston restaurant and be displayed gracefully on this 25 feet art mural created by French Artist, Sebastein Boileau at Warehouse 72 …after my battle with breast cancer 2019.
