Welcome! Thank you for your interest in me and my work.

When I first set up this site, I thought about publishing it anonymously*. It was going to be a place for me to post my thoughts and drawings. I liked the idea of sharing my art under a pseudonym so I'd be free from worry about anyone knowing who was behind it, of operating without a filter. It felt safer, quieter.

But, I yam who I yam. I had a couple of years of anonymity posting on Instagram without using my name, and it was helpful. It's important to work in a judgment-free zone when making art. To turn off self-criticism and fear of what others think. It was what I needed. And now it feels easier to use my name and continue operating with the same abandon.

So much has changed since I first started having an online presence. I've developed my voice as an artist, found exciting ways to connect with other creative folks through my podcast and the different writing societies I'm part of, and I began working as an editor, getting to work in a field that aligns with all my passions.

I remain on the introverted end of the spectrum, but now I know what I love and how enriching it is to share that with others who love the same things too.

When I'm not writing, editing, or drawing, I'm getting lost in a good book or TV series, walking in the forest with my dog (a being of perfection), and looking for wonder where I can.

*I was very inspired by Lord Birthday's story about his anonymity and how he broke it that was on an Invisibilia podcast episode.
