It's loud out there. And sometimes it's loud inside too. 

But there are ways adjust the volume and cultivate a life filled with creativity that nourishes you.

Because wonder is a practice, and inspiration a skill set.  Hope is strength-training for the soul.  

Holding on to beauty helps us build a better story. Art opens us up see the world, and ourselves, with fresh eyes.

The kettles on, the studio is open, and I'm so glad you're here.




Friend, It's Time to Turn the Noise All the Way Down...

What if Wonder Is the Missing Ingredient You Need...

To Step Into the More You Are Made For & Thrive from the Inside Out?

Wonder is the way back to ourselves and one another in a distracted, divided, disconnected world.

Hey Wonderer,

Welcome to this little corner of the internet where I’m finding home is less about location and more about vocation… the things we must do because they well up inside us until they overflow.

You’re a story carrier, a light bearer, a rhyme weaver. You chronicle worlds in your stitches, scribbles, and sketches.

Imagine a room filled with tables and chairs. Light strands twinkle as they crisscross the space above our heads. The aroma of freshly ground coffee (or steeping tea if you prefer) fills the air.

Some of us watercolor. Others write a one-line poem or story starter. Someone knits. We all gather around tables to simply create together.

Each one of our projects looks different. But we are connected to something bigger than ourselves.  That's what this space is like.

We are a community of courage, making wonder and kindness and beauty a habit.

You don’t have to shave off parts of who you are to fit inside someone else’s box. You don’t have to fit in at all because, here, you already belong.

I'm an artist, writer, brain science nerd, & creativity coach... so I really get it.

How about a supportive, whimsical reminder of some of the ways we can turn down the internal noise?  ⬇️

This is a page from my sketchbook inspiration...

There's a lot going these days.  Struggling with anxiety isn’t a sign of being broken. It’s a sign of being human.

When you’re in the thick of it, it helps to have some easy tools already lined up to help yourself cope. Nab this free printable and bucket list— and you’ll be well on your way.
