★ My Narrative: in general my work is about bringing something into the world that enhances and elevates the environment in which it lives (hopefully in a graceful manner). Much like magical charms and spells of intention that give voice to our inner makers/magicians and collective histories. I am endlessly inspired by nature, seeking the wild in urban environments, native folklore, moon lore, sea birds, sustainability and sweet soul music..... eternally a seeker of magic.
