Things I’m Making

ArtCampWorld

An Etsy Shop

ArtCampWorld is my Etsy shop for original sketches pulled directly from my travel journals — ink, colored pencil, and watercolor work made in the moment, on the road. Many of these sketches carry a raw, unfinished quality, and that's not incidental, it's the record of where and how they were made. Some capture places I passed through for only an hour, drawn quickly and drafty, without the full range of supplies I'd reach for in a studio. That rawness isn't a limitation to work around; it's what ties each sketch to one exact place and moment - an hour, a bench, a moment, with only what I have in my bag to capture it. Most of the sketch subjects are drawn from nature, though I've also explored cityscapes, shaped by living in New York City, and more fantastical imagery, drawn from my love of gothic and horror storytelling and feminist threads.

Art Camp

An Artist Residency

Wherever you’re coming from,
Wherever you’re going,
There’s art to make

Art Camp is a residency I'm building for women to slow down and make something with their hands, alongside other creatives.

Why Art Camp? The pace of modern life outpaces what we're built for - mentally, physically, socially. We're too hurried to make time for each other, and too exhausted to imagine how we would. But we're still social creatures who need one another to live well, and I believe making art together is one of the most direct ways back to that.

Art Camp is an artist residency set in nature, built around dedicated time to create alongside a community of other artists. It is a place for artists in all stages of their creative practice. The residency rests on three ideas: know yourself, through unhurried time to explore your own creative instincts; know each other, through real community with fellow artists; and know your world, through a natural landscape that asks you to slow down and pay attention.

Art Camp is in the conception and planning phase. Stay tuned for updates.

The Space Between

A Fiction Writing Project

[working title] What do we gain in immediacy that we lose in intimacy? This project asks that question through the correspondence of a woman spending a year traveling alone, and the friends, family, and lovers she left behind.

Unlike a traditional novel, this story isn't read from a distance, it is handled. Readers pull the postcards themselves from pockets built into the book's pages, illustrated with sketches from my own travel sketchbooks, made to look and feel like something actually sent by someone you love. QR codes woven through the book carry the story's more immediate, disposable moments - such as the text messages exchanged in real time and the songs passed back and forth on Spotify. The contrast between physical and digital media is the point: a handwritten postcard that took three weeks to arrive holds a different kind of weight than a text sent in an instant.

Across the year, the protagonist falls in and out of love, loses someone close to her, and renegotiates who she is to her family - all while physically absent from every one of them. The story argues that presence and intimacy aren't the same thing, and that some relationships deepen precisely in the space between.
