I’m a wife, a mother to one incredible kid, a sister, daughter, niece, friend, and artist. I have an extensive background in living and traveling abroad, the visual arts, international education, and constant self growth and learning. Add to that mix a decade of homeschooling with my child and a recent move to a new country, and you’re beginning to get a glimpse of what I’m about. I am rooted in values of

kindness.
honesty.
curiosity.
connection.
self-discovery.
nature’s beauty.
and joy.

This is an evolving landscape. Let us watch the seasons change…

Right now,

You will find images.

Particular colors, shapes, or movement can spark incredible, fleeting moments of joy. The more I pay attention to this, the more I’m inspired in every aspect of life. So I take photographs. I sketch. I make watercolor paintings and revise digital attempts at emotion over and over. This habitat will be populated with these things and more. I’ll do my best to push through perfectionism and share things that capture joy, even in small, imperfect bits.

You will find words. 

You’ll also find some thoughts put into words from time to time. They’re there, but it’s harder to pull them out into the open.

You will find hope.

Things can get pretty complicated, but it works out. Not always like we had imagined, and not always the way we wanted it to. But the journey continues, until it doesn’t. Every moment is birth and death rolled into one. This is what helps me step forward every day, knowing this may be my one chance amid such unbelieveable-ness.
