About

I love nature, adventure, and the beauty of daily life. I try to capture the wonder I feel for the natural world - the light and shadows, the delicacy and resilience of a flower, the tranquility yet wildness of the beach.

I also explore the human experience through essays and poetry. My writing holds the beauty and pain of a life built through overcoming early-childhood trauma and the foster system, and the fear of not being good enough. I believe we can become our best selves by taking time to reflect on and learn from our experiences, and intentionally choose joy on a daily basis. Some of my writing relates to my paintings. I strive to create a blog that inspires reflection, connection, and personal growth for others.
