The Summer Solstice arrived this year in shades of gold. For this Art Card, I painted a radiant sun face surrounded by warm oranges, pinks and metallic gold. A tiny gem at the third eye, giving the piece something of a small shrine quality. It feels celebratory, abundant and unapologetically bright. As I worked on … Continue reading Summer Solstice – Standing in Your Own Light
This New Moon card features a dandelion painted in shades of luminous blue against a deep midnight sky. Dandelions are often dismissed as weeds, yet they are among the most resilient plants we know. They grow wherever they can find a foothold, adapt to changing conditions and continue to thrive regardless of what others think … Continue reading New Moon Art Card – Dandelion

An egg feels like the right symbol for this particular moon: something quiet … Continue reading First Steps New Moon 17th April

Instead, I’ve been thinking about the night sky itself: deep blues and indigos, fractured and held together like a stained glass window. Small stars glow quietly between the dark shapes, not demanding attention, just present. … Continue reading New Moon — A Stained Glass Sky
Art Cards for the turning year. I’m sitting in my studio looking out at a bare tree and a dormant garden. Everything feels paused. The borders are stripped back, the ground is resting, and the shapes of things are suddenly clear without their leaves. It’s a view that feels honest at this time of year … Continue reading Midwinter: tending the quiet places
