Hi there! Are you wondering why I have a blog?
I love creating things and reflecting on process; not just the creative journey, but also the experience of living and being human. As often as possible, I write about something that has been on my mind. I hope sharing my insights, stories, discoveries, tips, and musings here can help other people on their life journey too.
I think acknowledging how challenging, relatable, funny, weird and messy our lives are will ultimately make our time on earth more joyful and inspired. Writing this blog is one of the vehicles I use to live a more fulfilling, healthy and beautiful life!
Thanks for joining me on this ride and subscribing to my newsletter to receive an email notification when I post my latest blog!
Reflecting On The Power and Purpose of Art During Times Of War
The invasion of Ukraine has affected me on a cellular level. It took me several weeks to begin to process it all. Everything, including my art practice, felt irrelevant, disrespectful to the suffering and just indulgent. I sort of froze for 5 days, staring wide-eyed at the news and consuming podcasts to understand what was happening in Ukraine, to Ukrainians and my extended family there. I am going to save the topic of inherited trauma and my grandparents’ war stories for another post.
