Every time I meet an opportunity to slow down and listen like this, to unwind and disconnect, something really sincere calls out ~ a reminder of something deeper and softer within, asking and offering space to keep exploring this lens of conversation with the land. My intention is to keep listening ~

I applied, for the first time, to a larger grant this past week to offer nature art experiences for the community, and felt grateful for the opportunity to really reflect on what I could offer, whether I get the grant or not. In the process I put together a Substack post to put some cohesive words on the experience. Feel free to read if called~ the link is in my bio.

This natural dye piece is made from an iron mordant paste experiment I did two years ago with carved potatoes to print — though embroidered, mended, and intuitively put together while in Luck, WI. As always, grateful for the time to learn & listen again and again ~~

Land // Art Residency
Luck, WI - Feb 2026

Gathering as a Tending
 Recently I have felt a draw to curating spaces of honest connection and conversation, bridging past ‘normalized’ socializing. When I woke in the morning, it seemed clear to construct an area that could mimic a space for that kind of engagement.
 The intention of this gathering place is meant to be for a practice of tending
◎A place to keep coming back to
◎A lens in noticing new things
◎A blank canvas to build up intuitively
◎A container for the warmth of connection — whether be of animal or human kind
 Gathering as a tending (of self);
Tending as a life practice - a meditation.

Land//Art Residency
self-led ~ intuitive
Luck, WI - Feb 2026

To unwind within nature often feels of the truest sense of self. Moving from an honest place with limited distractions means really having to meet yourself—in at times difficult, yet deeply inspiring ways.
 Even winter offers itself through many gifts of seasonalities. To slow down and notice simply all that’s intrinsically present around in a moment is perhaps the simplest way to meet sincere presence, comfort, and joy.

I feel deeply grateful and privledged to have the opportunity to disengage and connect with a surrounding like this and ultimately share of bit of this experience with others. My hope is to share process and then find directive to raffle some art for the community rent initiatives to support from the ripples of ICE dissapating the Twin Cites area the past couple months.

“To be natural is to be holy; but it is very difficult to be natural. To be natural is to be at home with your own nature. If you are outside yourself, always reaching beyond your self, you avoid the call of your own mystery. When you acknowledge the integrity of your solitude and settle into its mystery, your relationships with others take on new warmth, adventure, and wonder”
* Anam Cara ~ John O’Donohue

I suppose this was made in mind to be a reminder of self//for self ~ to keep following the light within things, the opportunity that’s always present to learn and grow from situations, and to keep trusting (in whichever capacity it calls for). It’s meant to be carried along with - to hold, to take time to feel the threads embroidered ; a physical emblem of what’s within.

Fabrics both softly naturally dyed with Marigolds - outside//bundle dye steam, inside//dye bath

I carry interest to make more of these ~ if something like this would be inspiring for you to have// to hold, perhaps we could barter some exchange. Be in touch with ideas~~

On Nov 3rd was the heavenly birthday to the kind soul of my mother and 9 month exact death anniversary - a full gestation of time. And as winter has welcomed itself again, I’m reminded back to this season & the way the snow rested on all the trees the morning I found out ~ time just keeps.

In my adult life, we shared a complicated relationship together — in her passing I was really cautious of my sharing as to limit being triggered by the overwhelmed immediate reactions of ‘I’m sorry for your loss!!!’ and the misunderstanding of our relationship — this has made my grief journey a bit private, protected, and personal in its unfolding.

Through time I feel I have navigated to meet the deep depths of love that was there all along - nestled underneath some layers of dissonance. I’ve reflected that more than anything ~ I wish inner peace & healing for everyone ~ We all deserve to experience love in its fullest capacity and maybe so that ends up being a long journey to find within ourselves (first), too. We are beautiful creatures navigating capitalism and systems that push us to molds - kindness to alls journey to meet the fleeting moments of presence, freedom, & joy ~~ and especially to the kind soul of my dear, kind-hearted Mom now amongst the ethers! My journey of healing has transcended beyond my own and into the understanding of it’s for the both of us now. I can’t explain that feeling in depth though — it’s just something I understand as deeply true.

In this sharing - I offer the space to reflect on what grief means to you or how it’s moved through you in your life? Something as profound as a passing life seems to be initially flooded with the same mechanical response “sorry for your loss!!” ~ in what other ways can we offer words or reflect in the complexities of shifting physical planes? We are gifted with the wealth of expression, articulation, and nuance, yet feel stumbled to be anything more than perhaps worried to say something too sensitive. If wanting to connect or share experience, I encourage the softness of exploration of words around this topic with me. If moving through grief, I’d be honored to share reflections with you. Please be in touch ~

☼ channeling warmth ☀︎ through sharing ✉︎

A little practice with linocut & a soft gift of sharing 🌷 I love writing letters to people ~ would you like one? Highest priority to someone I haven’t talked to in awhile 🦋

I wanted to extend a little art share. If you’d like to recieve a letter from me in one of these cards, dm me and I’ll gladly write to you!

And as a slight ask for receiving ~ I ask that you pay it forward in some form ; either writing a random letter to a friend, sharing art, or ,of course, whichever you may so feel inclined to do. ➰

And When The Ethereal Takes You Away
(it~will) Just Know You Can Come Back

08/06/2025

contentment is a
life practice
a rewording of narrative
an acceptance of
joy in the
absolute minutiae of
all being
not reaching, not exceeding
beyond the boundaries
of self, and a curiosity
into the sheer depths
of abundance within
calmly, consistently
welcoming the
slow trickle unfolding
of what becomes, what’s
meant to be, and the
life lessons unraveling
the truths of how we
meet the world, or
at the very least,
our perceptions
mimicking the
reality we create
