I have been a member of the Turning the Wheel National Team for almost 10 years, in addition to building my own arts practice. Turning the Wheel is an amazing non profit that builds community through all different arts practices. Although my work with them has changed quite a bit over the past few years I was invited back to the Facilitator Winter Retreat and it was a HUGE GIFT! Thank you to this tribe for keeping me in the circle and pushing always towards more joy and growt

I had the opportunity to co-lead the art focused Creative Playshop at “The Body Now” Summer Retreat with Turning the Wheel this past week. It was a treat to guide our intimate class through the stages of creating a beautiful mixed media sculpture. The theme this year was “Living our Joy” and after much deliberating me and my creative partner, Dodi, settled on creating nests this year. Nests are such a powerful image of growth and home. They encapsulate so many aspects of a he

For the past several years I have attended “The Body Now” Summer Retreat as a lead facilitator for Turning the Wheel. It has become a time for me grow in my leadership skills and to rest into my self so that I can step back into the world bright and inspired. This year was no different and the I feel filled to the brim with joyous energy. I’m ready world. Watch out! As part of the week of moving, playing, learning, breathing, connecting, and dancing we all have the opportunit

I am so happy and honored to have my art up at the delicious Fresh Thymes Eatery. My Celestial Beings Series is up through the end of July at Fresh Thymes and I love how it looks on their rustic wooden wall. They are also available for sale. There are only 9 of these beauties so go check them out today. They all need loving homes and I think they radiate with goodness. The “Celestial Beings” series was inspired by a collaboration with Turning the Wheel to create “The Good Box

If you follow my instagram I’m sure you’ve seen a myriad of pictures showcasing my newest, most favorite toy in my studio: my butterfly paper punch! I bought it on clearance at Michaels and it is by far one of the most satisfying art gadgets I’ve ever purchased. The punch has three different shapes built in and with very little effort I can generate hundreds of beautiful one of a kind works of art. Inspired by my purchase I quickly generated a pile of painted papers using sla

My first public art show is up! My art! On walls in a local venue! Go me! I am excited to announce that my art will be hanging at Anytime Fitness for the next three months. Anytime Fitness is a local gym and I reached out after seeing their call for art. Apparently members of the gym had requested art for the space and the team at the store decided collaborating with local artists would be best. I am honored to be the first artist to exhibit in their space. Anytime Fitness ha

A long time ago I found an image on the internet of a rainbow unicorn zebra thingy. It was a great picture, but the best part about it was the comment from the artist. It read something along the lines of “new box of crayons… YAY!” Every time I buy a new box of crayons (which is more often then it probably should be) I have a similar feeling. This time I had a really valid reason for buying new crayons. I can’t find mine. They have vanished into my pile of misplaced things th
