Completed after doing some Oracle art tonight. Readings still available in my Etsy, and they include a lovely one-of-a-kind mixed media artwork to go along with your message, affirmation and prompts. shops on sale 25% until Valentine’s Day.

  • finally braving my studio

    Sitting in my studio has been a struggle
    It’s a wreck
    I am too overwhelmed to try and organize it
    But I need to create. Tonight I sat down and just worked through journal spreads
    This one is a favorite
    I will remember this feeling
    When I prioritized self care
    So I can show up stronger
    Tomorrow

    Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

    Collage pages in my travelers notebook

    My inner critic has not been kind to my abstract collage practice. Especially as I move through it quickly, and the pages become sparse to invite tension between the elements.

    The simple layers and the shapes they make intrigue me. Lately the white space has been playing with me, inviting me to use less material for more dramatic effect. I can imagine stories of each one. They are simple, yet intricate and profound. I could fill books and books with pages like these.

    I like to ask others what they see in the shapes
