I restacked but computer klutz that I am, didn’t know how to link your summer retreat. Please add the link if you see the restack. More people need to know you🩵🎨💚
I was particularly drawn to your unique insight: "For me, art has never been about mastery or even about product. It has been about intimacy. It has been about learning to be with—with a line, with a leaf, with a sorrow I cannot name. It is how I tend to the ache of living, and to the joy. How I stay open. How I bear witness to both the light and the brokenness. And often, how I mend." This resonated deeply, making me think of art not just as creation, but as a form of sacred, personal alchemy.
What if the act of creating, in its most honest and vulnerable form, isn't about making something new, but about integrating and healing what already exists within us? It's like taking the broken pieces of a feeling, a memory, or a perception, and through the quiet, focused attention of making, gently weaving them back into a coherent, even beautiful, whole. It’s less about expressing an idea and more about an internal negotiation, a conversation with the self through the medium of the craft. It’s a very intimate kind of healing, truly.
What a nourishing comment to see when I arrived here this morning. Thank you, as always, for your gentle and wise insights. It’s Kintsugi, in a way. Taking the broken pieces and mending them into something new. ✨🫶🏼
"art not as decoration, but as devotion" and "a theology of care and intention" and "Art is not just a thing we do, it is the way we love the world" sigh... lovely thoughts to ponder this week. Thank you as always.
I spent quite a bit of time trying to think of female luminaries from the time period of Ruskin. Not a one came to mind. Now, so many. I will make an offering for them, too 🤍
Wouldn’t that be the best epithet: “She saw.”
Oh gosh yes!! 🥰🫶🏼
One of your best ever!!!!

Inspiring! I’m glad you’re highlighting a feminine way that is attentive and relational enriching the echoes of others as you walk amongst them.
