HELLO!
I'm an artist, educator, designer, and professional tarot reader.
I work in artist-run, cooperative spaces building communities of practice and helping people learn to make things.
My integrated practice is an exploration of care: how we collectively tend to each other; become better resourced; share tools for self-discovery; and cultivate the safety and support needed to be our authentic selves in a complicated world.
I’m interested in storytelling and crafting narratives that challenge and resist the systems in which we find ourselves and their ideas about who we “should” be. I want to help people find ways to express their unique perspective.
WEB DESIGN + CONTENT COACHING
Only you can do what you do.
I can help you express what you do online to make connections with people who want to learn, collaborate, and work with you.
I work with artists, authors, psychotherapists, consultants, non-profits, and healers to not simply design beautiful and user-friendly websites but to design the right content to tell their particular story.
ART
I use a wide variety of materials and approaches to create art pieces that explore personal methods of storytelling using symbols and imagery from the natural and supernatural worlds. There is deep meaning and magic in the interconnectedness of all plants and creatures and the imagination can be a portal into this reality.
At the moment I work primarily in digital illustration, screen printing, sculpture, and embroidery. I am currently working on a series of textile and clay objects about death, rest, and caretaking.
All the illustrations on this site are my own.

TAROT
We all want to inhabit the truth of who we truly are and in order to do that we need to know ourselves.
Tarot is a process of connecting to our imagination, body, needs, and desires unencumbered by external stories about who we are supposed to be.
Let the tarot help you reconnect with that intuitive, knowing part of yourself so you can uncover, navigate, and validate your own experience!
EXHIBITIONS
Something to hold on to: the Aces of tarot are the first four textile tarot cards I designed as part of an on-going series documenting my artistic interpretations of the cards. I drew the artwork digitally and screen printed the images on linen before sewing them together to create sculptural pieces that are intended to be handled and used.
These pieces were shown in Absence Makes…Printmaking Exhibition at ARTiculations Studio from February 29 - March 24, 2024.
The collection was also selected to be part of Open Studio’s Future Proof Virtual Auction from May 2 - 9, 2024 and were purchased during the auction.
Something to hold on to: the Fours of tarot are the second set of textile tarot cards as part of an on-going series documenting my artistic interpretations of the cards. For this set, I drew the artwork digitally and then screen printed on to a reclaimed felted wool sweater. The edges were then embellished with a scalloped crochet border and with small embroidery details only visible in-person. These sculptural pieces are intended to be handled and used like a functioning set of tarot cards but with a tactility that only textiles can offer.
Moss Bed is a rug hooked sculpture made of wool yarn. This bed acts as a resting place for needle-felted tarot cards and objects and is meant to conjure a sense of rest and respite. This sculpture continues to slowly grow, like real moss, as details are added over time.
These pieces were shown as part of the group show, Some Assembly Required: Current Practices from Members of the Contemporary Textile Studio at 99 Frames for the DesignTO Festival in January, 2025.
The cards alone were shown in Absence Makes…Printmaking Exhibition at ARTiculations Studio from February 21 - March 30, 2025.
Beyond the Veil is a tiny acrylic gouache and ink painting I did for the Exploring Horizon(s) Landscape Painting Exhibition at ARTiculations Art Studio from June 12 - July 12, 2025.
This piece was sold.
SS Hermit is an illustration inspired by The Hermit tarot card and Jessica Dore’s writing about this card where she says: “Peace does not exist in the land of opposites"
This piece was first made digitally in Procreate and then printed on paper so I could use it to trace onto aqua coloured Kizuki Somegami washi paper using acrylic ink and Pitt fineliner in sepia tones. The work was included in an online exhibition, On Colour, with The Japanese Paper Place.
