Created in 2022.
I've discovered that the passion compelling my life extends from this desire to notice, embrace and release beauty in the world. With many whose stories are laced with grief and pain, many are living in unresolved, suppressed pain. The result is a paralyzed, withered, lifeless community wandering the planet.
Fortunately, the arts have this incredible power to uncover, disarm, ignite, inspire and heal the human heart. It’s equally gripping and invigorating to step into the healing journey personally, but to offer a potential moment of release or beauty to another soul in pain, that’s an honor.
I authored, illustrated and designed the book Wabi Sabi. It's an opportunity to serve unhealed communities. The content highlights moments of pain with lament AND celebration, which aims to inspire readers to seek beauty, especially within their pain. As a reader, you are guided along a story through various poetry forms, then have the opportunity to experience beauty with the help of the workbook.
