I’m a lover of metaphor and see myself as a river and as a bridge. I’m a guide and a hearty companion. I am an artist and a mother. I am a mosaic of my broken and picked-up-again pieces. Art and more widely, creativity, has been a part of my life since the moment I was born. In fact, I believe we are co-creating our lives with the universe, that our lives are our master work, and that they should reflect our most authentic self in action.

I exist with many modalites regularly including textile art, poetry, collage, music and movement (dancing!). Basically if there is a way to take pieces that might, at first, seem separate, and then put them together in a new way, I'm there! I am inspired by the philosophy and the metaphor of kintsugi; the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with golden joinery. I spread the message that just because we have broken spots (experiences that may have broken us open~) , we don't need to be thrown out~ instead we can mend in a beautiful and purposeful way. We can honor ourselves and others by doing the work of mending and becoming a new version of ourselves.
