Self-awareness is the basis of my artistic practice.
- My journey to this place and time where I can truly consider myself an artist was intertwined with multiple challenges that led to self-discovery, healing and identifying my values.
Creating [writing & making art and compiling resources] from an authentic place means I honor my boundaries and intentions via daily self-accountability and acknowledging the necessary balance within my Life Quad.
- The meaning within my creative work is rooted in self-reflection, relationships with my family and friends, and the kindred conversations I have within the creative communities I host.
Despite being someone who was raised to prioritize service to others over self-care and compassion, I found my way (and my voice) through art and creative expression.
“You yearn to create—because creation is connection with the immortal and the divine.” -Nancy Hillis
Braveheart, thank you for your presence.
As as artist, I have been transitioning to a season of Less; the sometimes uncomfortable space of solitude and creating offline (and ignoring algorithms).
Of negotiating “how to show up in a way that is generous and distinctive, and to refuse the bait that others take when they decide that feeding the algorithm” (Seth Godin) as I honor both my creative passion, but also my pace at this stage of my living.
Right Brain Planner is a collection of lunar + seasonal prompts and journal-planning ideas to encourage self-compassion and review, reflection and expression, discovery and healing.
Braveheart, we learn by doing: we discover details about ourselves through dated, chronicled observations 👀✍️📔 because everything we experience is data. 📊
Data is value-neutral; it is neither “good’ or “bad”—it is merely information to use for our choices, intentions and conclusions. Remembering this helps us to live free from judgment and shoulds.
Thank you kindly for your presence here.
I appreciate your interest and support.
~love & good wishes~
