Bird nests have always inspired me. The gentle, intentional gathering up of small items as they weave together a soft place for new life to grow wings — it’s just a sacred thing. I painted this piece with the same process and intention: little scraps of words and images from magazines, hand-pressed flowers from my garden, little scraps of fabric from quilting, a little free-hand painting and blending, woven together into a meaningful piece that honors your attention especially if you choose to get really close.

Painted with acrylics, pressed flowers, fabric, and mixed media.

“Re-membering” | A collection focused on telling a story of tenderness toward what has been shattered.

I have always been drawn to delicate ceramics, especially vintage or antique china. These are vessels of beauty and nourishment, and yet, sometimes they break. A few months ago, my favorite coffee cup slipped from my hands and cracked against the sink. I didn’t have the heart to throw away this beautiful vessel that had brought me so much joy, so I gathered it’s pieces and kept it on the shelf, often staring at its small cracked frame with tenderness.

Then I had an idea — which inspired this collection. I’ve been gathering pieces from antique shops, whether already chipped or orphaned and missing their original set, and lovingly dismembered and re-membered them back together in a way that tells a story of tenderness and hope for the shattered. I’ve enjoyed creating these pieces and I hope they inspire or touch a part of your healing as well.

I have always loved fabric and fiber art. I’ve been looking for ways to incorporate these mediums into a painting — and it finally happened! This piece reminds me of how our stories are woven together into a beautiful work of art.

This piece is a conversation with color, movement, and play. Made with watercolor, acrylics, painted paper, and pencil, the colors and textures are delicate and meaningful.

One of the most generous, local, and magical provisions from God is rain. It is a reminder to rest and be sustained.

A hand-lettered phrase that means so much to me.

This duo is created using acrylic with wax paper, charcoal pencil, and the outlines of pressed flowers from my garden.

our real home
is the space we hold
for one another

our hearts were made
to be havens
for the hopeless

let us give
each other
a place to
rest

let us give
each other
a place to
rest

let us give
each other
a place to
rest
