  • enough

    Contemplating the essay for this week: why do we tell ourselves our art isn’t enough? why do we shame ourselves for creating something that is valuable to ourselves but perhaps no one else? How can we transmute that feeling and show up anyways?

  • Art updates

  • Journaling with the fairies today

    Last night I got an amazing lightning bolt of inspiration to start creative writing again. So excited to share. Here is an art journal spread inspired by that writing session and fairies.

  • More abstract collage; grateful for this

    Found my way back to inspiration for my favorite form of expression. Often I will go on creative sprints and then feel the need to take a break from this particular medium. Always a happy return. 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
