I honestly haven’t felt this excited and filled with wonder since stART on the Street (RIP 🥹).

Getting to walk around today and see all the other artists, working in so many different mediums, setting up their spaces was such a special feeling. Being surrounded by so much creativity and getting to be a small part of it all is something I don’t take for granted.

A special shoutout to brother Dave and baby Eva (and Emily by extension) for helping me set up and keeping me caffeinated this morning.

I’m truly so grateful to be here. Thank you so much for having me, Paradise City Arts

If you don’t have plans tomorrow or this weekend, I really hope you’ll consider stopping by the Paradise City Arts Festival in Northampton! Come say hi and explore the work of hundreds of other incredibly talented artists.

I’d love to see you!

I’m sorry for being quiet. September was a lot.

I lost my job, had a really great interview for a new one, and on that very same day learned that a prospective patient had passed away. Eddie had emergency surgery. Jon officially became a journeyman. I turned 35. Got some closure in a few areas. Lots of Eva snuggles. And now Samwise needs to go to the dentist/oral surgeon.

I’m also coming to terms with the fact that this semester might be my hardest yet (or feels like it), and realizing just how little spare time I’ll have in between it all, while somehow simultaneously getting ready for Paradise City.

Through all of it, I’m incredibly lucky to have a great support system. Sometimes I feel guilty complaining about the problems I have now compared to the problems I had what feels like lifetimes ago. My life looks so different from how it used to look. What great things to be stressed about.

But it’s still life. Hard things are still hard, even when you’ve survived harder ones before. I don’t have to minimize what I’m feeling just because I know how much worse things can be.

I haven’t painted as much as I’d like to or need to. I haven’t posted. Life has been lifing. I’ve been adjusting, celebrating the good things, dealing with the scary, and trying to keep up with everything in between.

October looks 🅱️usy, just hopefully slightly more manageable and a little less chaotic.

Thanks for being here, see you soon?

September 🤠

Today is my one hundred and eleventh birthday (35, but my body feels what Bilbos would have).

For a long time I never thought 21 was possible, let alone 35. Between trauma, drug addiction, mental health, and some s**tty life choices, getting here was definitely not a straight line.

But here we are. “Playing with house money”.

35 and in the healthiest, most loving relationship I’ve ever been in. I have a stable home, I’m back in college, somehow made it into the honors society, own my car, and have managed to keep four animals alive.

Life is still life. I’m still figuring things out, still working through s**t, and apparently my back is about 76 years ahead of me.

But I’m happy. I’m safe. I’m loved. I actually really like the life I’ve built and looking forward to the future.

Thanks for being here ❤️

So, what exactly is Paradise City Arts Festival? ✨

For those who have been following along since I shared that I was accepted as an Emerging Artist, I wanted to tell you a little more about what I’m actually preparing for!

Paradise City Arts Festival is a nationally recognized fine art and contemporary craft show that has been bringing artists and collectors together for more than 30 years. The Northampton festival features 200+ artists and makers from across the country, showcasing everything from painting and sculpture to ceramics, jewelry, furniture, fiber art and more.

And this year, I get to be part of it. 🥹

I’ll be exhibiting as part of the Emerging Artist Collective, a program created to showcase and support the next generation of artists.

📍 Three County Fairgrounds
54 Old Ferry Road, Northampton, MA

October 9–11, 2026

I hope to see some familiar faces there and get to meet some new ones ❤️

I try to paint every day, not only for artistic growth, but even more so for my mental health. There’s something about showing up that gives my mind somewhere to settle.

Sometimes I hate to complain about my current stressors because, in comparison to what they once were, they seem so small. But they are still stressors nonetheless. I’m learning that I don’t have to minimize what I’m feeling simply because I’ve survived worse.

Even ordinary stress can feel especially difficult when you’re actively working to teach your nervous system that it no longer needs to live in a constant state of fight or flight. Healing doesn’t mean life suddenly stops being stressful. For me, it means learning how to move through that stress differently.

Painting has become one of the places where I try practice that.
