I live and create at the intersection of art, healing and spiritual activism.

I am an Atlanta-based multidisciplinary artist, muralist and ritualist whose work centers healing and community.

Through murals, paintings, mixed media, affirmation art, community-participatory projects and workshops, I use bold color, intuitive linework, organic forms and affirming language to uplift the human spirit and transform the spaces we share.

My process begins with listening. I attune to a site’s history, people and emotional energy, allowing the work to emerge from what is present and longing to be expressed.

My healing journey grounds my practice. I explore my inner landscape through art, reconciling with the feminine parts of myself I learned to suppress. I translate what I find into color, form and affirmations, guiding others toward their own inner worlds.

The Priestess Path of Inanna, the Sumerian Goddess of transformation, shapes how I understand descent, healing and return. My work serves the Truth that our Inherent Beauty and Star Power are already alive within us. In a world that teaches us to shrink and disconnect from our power, remembering who we are becomes an act of spiritual activism.

I am a queer, Jewish, Pagan white woman shaped by lineages of survival, resilience, silence and privilege. I am a sexual abuse thriver, both a healer and one still in need of healing.

Whether in a children’s hospital, on a basketball court, in a women’s center or within a sacred circle, I create with and for the people who will encounter the work, so they can feel more alive, connected, supported and whole.

I hold a Master’s in Women’s Spirituality from the California Institute of Integral Studies, a background in Design Management from SCAD and certifications in Women’s Temple Facilitation and Spiritual Somatic Practice. My partnerships have included Elizabeth Gilbert, Michelob ULTRA, Coca-Cola, the City of Atlanta and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

Mother’s Tongue extends this practice beyond my studio. It is a paper goods line rooted in pleasure, expression and feminine wisdom. Through it, we donate planners and install uplifting murals at women’s clinics.

Across every form, my work offers the same invitation: to remember the Inherent Beauty and Star Power that have been within us all along.

I am in service to uplifting the Life Force Energy

The Life Force Energy is the primal, creative current that animates all of existence. It is ancient and regenerative, governing the rhythms of life, death, and rebirth. This energy pulses through nature, the body, and the unseen realms. It is the source of vitality, intuition, creativity, and connection.

For the last five thousand years, since the rise of extractive and domination-based systems, this energy, especially as expressed through the Feminine, has been suppressed, distorted, and exiled. Our collective disconnection from this energy has led to a world out of balance: systems that deplete rather than replenish, that prioritize control over care, and that sever us from our embodied wisdom.

My work is a practice of remembering and restoring this energy within ourselves, our communities, and the spaces we inhabit. It is sacred and nuanced work. I recognize that while I am devoted to restoring a Truth that lives outside patriarchal systems, I am also shaped by those very structures. That tension is part of the alchemy.

This energy is not bound by dogma or binary. It lives in breath, in color, in movement, in stillness. It calls us to feel, to trust, to create, and to remember that: We are everything we seek. We are the key. We are the Infinite Truth.

I often refer to Life Force Energy as “She” because it is a healing, liberating practice for myself and for many others to reclaim the Divine through a Feminine lens. For too long, the sacred has been externalized, masculinized, and removed from the body. By honoring Life Force Energy as immanent, sensual, and feminine, we come back into Wholeness.
