(Re)Claiming your creativity connects you with a wellspring of inner wisdom and possibility. Passionate about creativity in all its forms. Coffee. Lots of coffee.
Currently exploring weaving using frame looms and am obsessed. Mom to a 14 year old daughter, 2 year old pup, and 3 adult kitties. I have lived in 9 cities and 3 countries but think I'm going to stay here in NYC (where I was also born and raised).

It’s back!
I will be guiding this warm and welcoming group beginning Fall, 2025. This is one of my favorites to facilitate. It combines support, community, open-heartedness and empathy with creativity galore.
If you are looking for a safe space to laugh, cry, explore, and create, Creative Nest might be a great place for you. Online, starting in just a few months! More info in bio link.
Come as you are. Create as you are.

What stops you from exploring or playing with art? Does it feel scary? Or like something that other people do? Do you question your skills? Are you nervous about what to do with our supplies? You’ve never tried before? Are you scared that you won’t like what you make? Do you not feel like you have the time? Did someone tell you that you’re not good enough to make art?
If you are curious, but unable to move forward, ask yourself what’s getting in the way. Why aren’t you taking the steps you want to take? What has happened in the past? What messages have you gotten about art throughout your life?

I don’t know what I would do without color. I am not someone who could live in an all beige or gray house. I appreciate the calm that those colors must bring, but I don’t feel alive until I have bright all around me. Right now I feel especially in need of vibrant colors.They are reminders that there is so much beauty and creativity in this world despite how awful it feels sometimes.

I am feeling very much like a work in progress. Like a human in progress. There’s so much happening in our country and in the world, not to mention in my life. Feeling very ungrounded, but also remembering that movement is always there and change is always coming. So keep going. Keep painting. Keep making. Keep dancing. And goodness don’t do it alone. Reach out to your people. Solitude is one of my favorite things but isolation sucks. Remember, you always have power to change one tiny thing. And one tiny thing can lead to a cascade of beauty.

My self-care is these uncertain times.

Taking an actual painting class. It’s so different from the way I work because I’m trying to actually draw something. I’ve already learned so much that can serve me in my work with the expressive arts. And I’m having so much fun!
I’ll admit that I was very nervous starting this class because I’m one of the many many adults who thinks I can’t draw. I know that I get to make art. I know that everyone is allowed to make art. But I’m so processed based that I never try to draw something realistic. This is definitely taking me out of my comfort zone and that is a really important thing to do. My creativity will be very grateful!
Are you doing anything to get out of your comfort zone?

I’m so excited about these upcoming groups. I invite you to explore them for yourself.
I am lucky. I have had the space and support over many years to create a life I love. I get to spend time each day in a nurturing creative practice that feeds me, heals me, and nourishes my continued growth.
I am passionate about helping women do the same thing. To prioritize their own self-discovery and growth. To figure out what they want their lives to look like and move towards that. To embrace all parts of them. To embrace the power of art and creative expression as a tool for healing and transformation.
Creative Nest offers a space to do all of this in a vibrant community of women working towards the same things.
Regsitration is open, and this round of groups starts mid-March. Reach out with questions or click the link in bio to learn more.

Yes, you get to love your life.
Yes, you get to explore all of who you are.
Yes, you get to be supported by other women who are growing and changing.
You get to do all of that. As women, we put ourselves second and third behind all of the responsibilities we are supposed to shoulder. We may love some of those responsibilities, but when we don't give ourselves space to grow, we can lose our sense of who we are at our essence.
I run Creative Nest groups because I desperately want every woman to step into their true selves and find the power to create the lives they want to live. When women come together, beautiful things happen. Throw in some art and creativity, and it's pure magic.
