Something that inspires you.

Title: New Life

I was inspired to create this embroidery-found-object-collage as a way to bring this dead (oops) Airplant to “life.” I also wanted to practice embroidery on a new, non-cloth medium.


Your pet. A Haiku.

There to Bring Comfort
You Didn’t Know You Needed
”Mini” Fierce, Soft, Gentle


Something for everyone

Quarantine
Quarantine is an opportunity
Quarantine is a prison sentence
Quarantine is safe
Quarantine is lack of all stability
Quarantine is quality time
Quarantine is isolation
Quarantine is home-cooked meals
Quarantine is not eating for days
Quarantine is home workouts
Quarantine is not being able to get out of bed
Quarantine is an opportunity to change
Quarantine is remaining stagnant
Quarantine is learning a new skill
Quarantine is regressing
Quarantine is a time of rest
Quarantine is endless unease
Quarantine is staying busy
Quarantine is unengaged mindlessness
Quarantine is a time to reset
Quarantine is deteriorating


A story everyone should hear

My Indoor Plant

Our veins
are not so different.
you keep me company,
I keep you healthy.
A quiet and intimate dance.
It is still.
you watch me sleep,
I watch you look out the window.
Our veins
are not so different.
your xylem carries
water and minerals,
mine carries water and minerals.
