Dancing in the Unknown
The magic of creating even when it's constantly changing
Hi friends, if you’ve missed me it’s because I’m shifting back to monthly newsletters to make room for my newfound YouTube obsession (more on this below hehe).
Grab some matcha 🍵 and hit this ^ playlist while we warm up to spring with all the gifts from February. With patience, you’ll find:
✧˖° Good talk about consistency
✧˖° New oracle card
✧˖° Community announcements
✧˖° From the studio
✧˖° Art shoppe updates
Soak it allllll up 🧚🏻
Creativity is an endless transformation. I’ve always known this, but accepting it is a different story.
As I encroach further on the oracle deck, more and more conflicting questions come up:
✧˖° Do I even like green anymore?
✧˖° Why can’t I be consistent?
✧˖° Am I trying too hard to fit into a box of my own creation?
✧˖° Why can’t I commit to anything as a creative?
After a few pep talks, I know this is natural resistance.
Before, these questions ached, but having seen the revelations that come with openness to them, I love these questions now.
And so I’ll keep going.
Finding flow within the structures I’ve build to bring this project down to Earth.
A ton of this work has to do with dismantling the ideas of consistency that don’t fit me anymore.
THE ORACLE .ೃ࿔:･°
Fungi | Connect
There are few beings more connected than fungi. Beneath the soil, its mycelial network, a shimmering white web tethered to the earth, connects the roots of all natural beings. While weaving through the darkness, mycelium picks up on every exchange and notifies the natural world of it all. With every step, it senses and welcomes you.
Despite its underground stealth, this mysterious and unimaginably intelligent being offers us an obvious link to our truest nature. Where the mycelium is the telephone line, exchanging unseen energies of love between the trees, plants, and us, mushrooms are the fruit of connection - an offer to humans to communicate.
This interconnectedness has always existed on earth, but has long been forgotten by many. We are all always connected, despite our awareness of it. We must only remember it.
Fungi gift us an awareness of deep interconnectedness. This wisdom disproves coincidence, and shows us that everything exists in tandem with everything else.
THE STUDIO .ೃ࿔:･°
Working with gouache and cotton paper and falling in love with the textures and wateriness of each stroke. mmmmh yes.

THE ART SHOPPE .ೃ࿔:･°
Things are a changin’ in the Art Shoppe. Less inventory, more… magic ?
The Flirt with The Earth Guide is now available digitally for $11.11 and only one physical copy remains, never to be restocked again muahahahaha.
No, really, physical copies are expensive for ya girl, so they’ll only be available digitally after the last copy sells.
I’m offering three commission spots this season, and y’all get first dibs. If you’ve got an idea in mind (digital or painting) please reach out!
This video got me in a chokehold… like in the best most loving way ✨
I really appreciate the vibes of this, what a soft place to land
