I'm excited to share that I have been featured on ABC, FOX, NBC, CBS, CW, and other global media for my poem, “Childless Mother,” which is part of Raw Motherhood: A Collection of Poems and Prose to Honor the Joy and Pain in the Journey.

Compiled by award-winning best-selling poet Elayna Fernández (you can find her on social media as @thepositivemom), the book features 100+ inspired poets and storytellers. Kudos to Elayna for putting together this amazing project and inviting us to participate.

My poem is about finding myself in the difficult position of caring for my mother as she ages, while never having had children myself.

Raw Motherhood is AVAILABLE NOW in paperback on Amazon and is the perfect gift for a mother in your life!

I'll be co-facilitating a self expression playshop with Grace Hazeltine through the Los Angeles County Psychological Association's Arts, Creativity, and Culture Committee on Sunday, May 19th!

I'm a bit late on sharing this as I've been moving half speed this winter, but I was so pleased to have my artwork featured in the December issue of the Academy of Therapy Wisdom's Wise Therapy Spotlight, alongside some beautiful reflections and contributions from a variety of therapists, practitioners, and artists.

The Academy offers remarkable and very thorough courses for therapists and practitioners, bringing together spirituality and social justice to, in their words, "help cultivate a more just, enlightened, and compassionate world." Some of my best continuing education studies have been thanks to their offerings!

I was very honored to be asked to give this talk for the Los Angeles County Psychological Association's Mirror of the Mind Artist Spotlight series: The Art of Becoming Who We Are: Multiplicty, Neurocomplexity, and the Joy of Being Late to Bloom.

A meditation on art as a practice of being and becoming who we are, and undressing from all we are not, through the lens of my circuitous creative journey as a multi-passionate, irremediably sensitive, neurodivergent being. A Brownian motion stroll through the landscape of my art and a variety of interwoven themes: art with a lower case “a,” the art of the everyday; art as observation; art as breath; the natural multiplicity of the psyche; desire as the motor of life; epigenetic echoes in the process of becoming; neurodivergence as a superpower; the advantages and pitfalls of diagnosis; fragmentation and regeneration as creative adaptations; artists as the metabolizers of societal detritus; the dangers of being sane; the importance of integrating play in adulthood; and the pleasures and advantages of being a late bloomer.
