Capturing the yellows of my early July garden. 🌻

Using the colors of my garden to move through grief. This intuitive collage was inspired by flowers from my yard. The orange lily was my dad’s favorite! Art and gardening are helping me work through the loss of my dad. 🧡🎨

I wanted to share my recent Substack post about collage making, imperfection, and allowing gentleness to step in!

Packing tape collages!

Life has been full—caring for aging parents and kids in various stages, the world events…When I don’t have the energy for art, this simple practice keeps me creative!

Layer scraps, press, peel & watch something new emerge. A little joy in the midst of it all. ✨

The Gentle Voice

Slowing down to honor the rhythm of winter. Sinking into the season to emerge with strength and clarity. The chaos wants us dysregulated. I will do my best to stay grounded! While making this collage, I reflected on interconnectedness and how nurturing ourselves and each other is essential now.

A list of podcasts I’ve found helpful this past month:

✨ Hey, Girl – Grief is Love w/ Marisa Renee Lee
✨ Soup season: Minimalist Baker + Ina’s minestrone
✨ Big cups of tea

“The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them.” - Audre Lorde
