When we create art without our ego interfering, we are actually developing a connection to our truest self. 

Not the self that performs or achieves, but the one that notices, wonders, and responds to what's alive in the moment.

I've been a long-time observer of my environment and nature. I love to sit with what I'm seeing, to delve into the curiosity of learning more—the medicinal purpose of a flower or herb, how animals coexist or adapt to the species and circumstances around them, and to notice the complex patterns nature creates. 

I'm endlessly fascinated by what we can learn from the lessons of nature: resilience, adaptation, beauty in imperfection, the wisdom of cycles and seasons.

I've loved making art my whole life. Drawing and lettering were the only two things I received accolades for throughout my education, and they've stayed with me as a way of being present. 

Anytime I'm in a meeting or listening to a lecture, you'll find me doodling—not because I'm distracted, but because it helps me listen deeper. It works for me. The act of moving a pen across paper quiets the noise and lets me hear what matters.

After working as a corporate trainer and consultant, coach, and author for years, I am now adding the intentional practice of art to my work and to my own pastime.

I believe art has the power to teach, to help us be more mindful and to just relax and enjoy.

What I know for certain is: art doesn't require great amounts of training and talent. It is available to all of us. 

The only things you need are curiosity, the willingness to let go of self-judgment or comparison, and the ability to be still and observe.

My work—whether it's nature journaling, creating custom word cards, or leading workshops—grows from this belief: that art isn't just about making something beautiful. It's about practicing presence, cultivating curiosity, and finding our way back to ourselves. 

When we create from that place, we open up. We connect more deeply to what we see, what we feel, and ultimately, to each other.

Frequently Asked Questions

Place your order, and you'll be asked to provide the word you'd like your card designed around. From there, I take over. I sit with your word. I carry it with me. I pay attention to what comes up in nature and in the world around me that feels energetically connected to it. Before long, an image begins to take shape — and I draw it by hand, just for you, using alcohol markers and sometimes watercolor. Every card is an original. Signed. Dated. Created entirely with you in mind. You'll never receive something pulled off a shelf or reprinted from a template. This is made for you.

Any word that means something to you. The words people have chosen have been as varied and beautiful as the people themselves — family, freedom, empowerment, consistency, tenderness, strength, resilience, joy. They tend to be words that represent something someone wants to focus on, honor in themselves or someone else, or simply invite more of into their life. If a word keeps showing up in your thoughts, nudging at you — that's probably your word. Trust that.

Yes you can. If there is a symbol or an image that has meaning to you, you can request it and I will do my best to accommodate the request.

They are one of the most personal gifts you can give someone. When you order a Word Card for someone else, you're saying: I see you. I know what matters to you. And I want to honor that. People have framed them, displayed them on their desks, and pinned them to their walls. One person even had hers turned into a poster for her office door. Whether you're celebrating someone, supporting them through a hard season, or simply wanting to let them know they are seen and heard — a Word Card carries that message beautifully. You choose the word that reflects what you want them to feel, and I'll create something that brings it to life.

Every card is packaged with care to make sure it arrives safely and feels special when it's opened. Your hand-drawn original is protected and ready to display, frame, or gift the moment it arrives. If you have specific timing needs — a birthday, an anniversary, a moment you're trying to honor — just reach out when you place your order and I'll do my best to make it happen. You can always contact me directly through the website (in the Contact menu).

Yes. In the Shipping Fields, enter the Name and Address of where you want the card sent. At checkout, there is an option to tell me what (if any) message you want inside, and how you’d like the card signed. I will hand write your message.
