I am a self-taught artist. I really don't remember a time when I wasn't drawing. I am a chronic daydreamer, for better or worse. I have always thought that being an empath and a highly-sensitive-person was both a superpower and a curse. I am nurtured by the Earth and her waters, but I forget to go outside more than I would like. I live close to the river and bluffs that raised me. I consider myself an animist and a witch. I practice nature-based spirituality. I see time as a spiral, not a line. I love to dance in my dark basement studio (I'm very bad. but I love to intuitively move my body.) It prepares me for the flow state necessary to make art. I love to find music that makes my jaw drop and my heart ache for more. I've always been an avid reader and sometimes it makes me sad to think I'll never read all the books I want to read before I die. I am a folk herbalist and this just means I have no formal training and I mostly make medicines with the plants I can cultivate a relationship with (think backyard weeds.) I am, apparently, also a fan of the run-on sentence! I have been a thrifter/vintage huntress since before it was culturally cool (but I sure made it cool! Haha) I've always loved the creative expression that comes from adorning myself with talismans. A sapphic. Feminist. Regretably, quick to anger, working on it. I have a healthy bit of distrust with social media/the internet and maybe a smidge of fascination too. I live for connection and deep, long meandering conversations. Will cry watching empowered home birth videos. Love a good cry. Avid dream share-er. Please, tell me, what did you dream last night? I love to learn and travel to new places and I'm also a bit of a homebody. Easily sucked in by anything strange, esoteric, or seemingly magical. Big-time user of "both can be true" in discussions/arguments. We are an unschooled family which is like homeschooling except it isn't at all and it's just life-learning and being curious and it's basically just a giant fuck you to any and all institutions. Think rebellious thoughts. I am a mother to one daughter whose birth was the catalyst for awakened personal power within me.
