I’m on a mission to:

Create nurturing, inspiring spaces where women connect with their creativity, honor their inner wisdom, and express their truth through art. Together, we celebrate this vibrant phase of life—not as a slowing down or a fading out, but as an exciting new season. This is our renaissance: a time to create boldly, share our stories, and craft a legacy with intention and joy.

Welcome to Artistry & Alchemy—where your voice is powerful, your art speaks with purpose, and the best chapters of your story are just beginning. Let’s embrace the magic of this creative journey and transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Let’s ignite your renaissance.

The Art of Listening

Creativity isn’t always about making.

Sometimes it’s about listening.

Listening to the stirrings inside you.
To the things that ache to be seen.
To what you’re longing for beneath the surface.

The Pages We Don’t Share...

Not everything you create needs to be seen.

Some pages are meant just for you.
The ones full of mess and wonder and trying things out.
The ones with half-thoughts and feelings you’re still naming.

Those page
You don’t have to rush.

Not your healing.
Not your next idea.
Not your creative process.

You’re allowed to take your time.

To wander a little.
To pause in the in-between.
To start something just to see where it goes.

Sometimes what lo
There’s a season that lives between the blooming and the resting.

It’s not always visible, this middle place.
It’s not loud or fast or finished.

But it’s rich with quiet truth.

This is The Season of Becoming —

Tender Archivist of Self 

�What if your journal wasn’t just a place for art… but a sacred archive of the life you're quietly living?

The forgotten scraps. The whispered memories. The brushstrokes that speak when words fall short.

This
It's World Collage Day!  The day we celebrate the art of layering stories, stitching together scraps of the past, and making something beautifully imperfect.

As a vintage art journaler, I find deep joy in letting old paper tell new tales. There's ma
