Welcome to my Creative Archive
Creating Across Seasons of Life
My creative interests have evolved over time, but the joy of making has remained constant. What began with pottery in high school grew into a collection of creative practices that continue to challenge and inspire me.
I have always loved creating, but when my dad was diagnosed with ALS, crafting took on a new meaning in my life. At first, it gave me somewhere to turn when I needed to take my mind off everything happening around me. Over time, though, I developed a deeper appreciation for the joy and meaning found in small things, whether flipping through art books with my grandma to find inspiration for a new canvas or putting together scrapbooks and photo albums for my family as Christmas gifts. Creating became a way for me to stay grounded in family and love, and to continue noticing the joy and blessings that surround us, even in times of profound grief.
​
I created this website as a visual diary of that perspective and of my pursuit of a beautiful, intentional life. It is a collection of the moments I have captured on camera, the pottery I have shaped by hand, the paintings I have created alongside my grandma, and the jewelry my mom and I spend hours sourcing together. More than a collection of things I have made or found, it is a collection of the people, moments, and memories that have made creating so meaningful to me.
