  • the expansive now

    i sit

    admiring

    taking in refreshing

    peppermint

    steam

    i should do this more

    stop

    b r e a t h e

    then time pulls me

    along by the hand

    shows me moments

    i long to pluck out

    place in my pocket

    save for later

    time reminds me

    the expansive

    n o w

    demands

    attention

  • a poem on parenthood

    I watch you, determined face

    I notice the refusal to accept

    what I surrendered to

    so long ago

    Presence should be a

    lightning bolt

    striking

    me back

    into the moment

    Stop looking away

    Try to meet your gaze

    Pick up the thread of the game

    sweet secret you invite me into.

    I watch you though

    Even when the rest is

    flickering.

    I always see you.

  • Synchronicities

    I tear up a lot of old artwork to transmute the energy into new work. This little scrap was laying on my chair to find. This is the back of it, on the front it’sa piece that was obviously glued over with something else. But when I ripped it from its original substrate, this is what was there. It became lost, only found right when it was meant to.

  • Studio updates; lots of book making

    Spiders have been showing up for me a lot lately so I made this spread
    I also made this weird spread
  • Let us remember

    The world demands

    So much from us

    Attention

    Time

    Energy

    Love

    Devotion

    May we never forget we are here

    to experience

    every mundane moment

    May we show reverence to

    this life

    for the blessing it is

    May we remember this

    when ache weighs heavy

    in our soul

  • Zine Planning for Mail Club

    This is going to be part bibliomancy zine, part creative prompt zine, and definitely pages to look at just for fun.

  • A studio update to show what I’ve been up to before and after my first market

    Shop all available art (as low as $5) and check out the care mail club membership on my ko-fi 🌟 the sticker ordered for members for the month of May is the collage about with the word now as the focal point. I love this piece and it reminds me of the importance of staying present. I am also working on a found poetry zine to enjoy, or to use as a creative prompt tool! I always include extra goodies in the shipments I send out, but care mail is generally an original artwork, a new sticker and a new zine every month. It’s my favorite offering at the moment 🌟 I should also note that Oracle art readings and collage paper packs can be found there as well.

    I appreciate you all!

    I also have 10 signed copies of my poetry book available here. You can also buy them (unsigned, and a bit cheaper) here. They are also available online at most major book retailers.

  • left behind: a poem

    not just debris

    from the storm

    fallen twigs and

    forgotten string

    small dwelling

    for growing

    found the ground

    from its

    sky-kissed perch

    oh, to scoop it up

    to hold this proof

    to dampen the structure

    with saltwater tears

    We are luckily safe after Fridays’ storms but there is damage throughout town.
