The Importance of Community Support

Each year, my studio grows in dialogue with the world around it. As an artist, educator, and healing practitioner, my work sits at the crossroads of creativity, inquiry, and service. I create art that honors the intelligence of the natural world, teaches students to see more deeply, and supports communities in cultivating emotional and spiritual resilience. These commitments guide everything I do. Supporting this studio means supporting practices rooted in integrity, curiosity, and long-term cultural value.

In 2026, I am focused on expanding the reach of this work through several key initiatives. The first is completing a book that weaves art, animism, and contemporary healing practices into an accessible resource for students, readers, and practitioners. Alongside that, I am raising funds for a traveling studio van that will allow me to bring classes, ceremonial work, and exhibitions to rural communities, underserved regions, and public spaces where the arts are too often absent. This mobility is essential to building a wider, more inclusive network of learning and creative exchange.

I am also developing scholarship opportunities to make my courses more accessible. Many people arrive at this work during times of transition, grief, or personal transformation. Removing financial barriers ensures that these teachings and experiences remain available to those who need them most. Scholarship funding also strengthens community outreach, allowing me to offer free or low-cost programming in schools, community centers, and small local arts organizations.

Your support directly fuels these efforts. It makes it possible for an independent artist and educator to continue offering work that enriches individuals and communities alike. When artists thrive, they become catalysts for connection, imagination, and shared healing — qualities our world urgently needs. Every contribution, no matter the size, strengthens a creative ecosystem that benefits far beyond the studio walls.

Thank you for considering being part of this circle of support and growth.
