Like every human, I am here encapsulating both light and dark – experiencing this life for its nectar and stone in equal measure. I began writing to articulate sensations and questions my body seemingly had no words for – a form of therapy, a tonic for my floating heart. Through time they have evolved into not just a personal creative outlet, but a mission – to find and exhibit art in the everyday, the peace in the pain. It is for this reason I continue to name the feelings and reclaim ownership of the storm and sunshine of life. Compassionately hearing words of those who inspire me has allowed a green, flowering, fertile, common ground to which seeds of community and relatability can grow. My hope is that my words will be heard and home will be found in the wake of their breath. These affirmations continue to guide me and provide safety in my bones. They are yours as much as they are mine.

All my love,
