I’m originally a Mainer, and always have been a hyper creative interdisciplinary artist, musician, spiritual companion and nerd for community. I have had a daily practice since I was 17, and for the last 6+ years have made a painting every day. Deeply inspired by monastic principles, I’m walking a path of integrating discipline into my life and creative expression. I’m particularly drawn to the principle of Stability, which essentially is about “staying put” and conditions one to have inner stability through outer acts of disciplined engagement. This has proven to be true for me! The daily paintings are imperfect and diverse in approach and content. Putting the focus on practice and process rather than product has liberated me to try anything and go where my inner being (and the materials) lead me. No matter the outside conditions (illness, travel, divorce and loss), I paint. Showing up for myself in this way has transformed and opened me and I so look forward to sharing bits of what I’ve found with you as we walk beside each other through creative process! 

Currently based in the Pacific Northwest, and loving it. When I’m not painting, teaching or holding space for folks, I’m in the woods wildcrafting and experiencing this beautiful planet with my partner Charley and our little dog Zelda.
