Nature is my companion & teacher—a place to go to quiet my mind, and a source of wonder & wisdom as I learn & grow. Like a mermaid, I dive deep into the presence of nature and. In doing so, I find my truest self mirrored back to me. Thus, the name of my work & website!
As I connect with nature, I learn to notice, to listen, and to approach life with curiosity, compassion & wonder. I am especially drawn to flowers & ferns—their colors & shapes, and the way they unfold from within. They remind me that I am enough as I am, and that my uniqueness is the source of my belonging. Perhaps this is part of what draws many of us to nature: in the presence of something so authentic, we feel free to become more fully ourselves.
My connection with nature finds its way into my life in different forms. I create art with flowers that expresses what I am discovering within. I share through speaking engagements, workshops, and holding space for important conversations. Much of what I share has emerged from my life’s challenges and the unexpected treasures I have found within them. In my experience, the deeply personal nature of what I create & share is part of its magic: by offering something true of myself, I hope to create space for others to recognize & honor what is true for them.
The Mermaid Spirit is a place where my expressions & offerings of a life shaped by nature come together—what I love, what I have lived, what I create, and what I continue to learn along the way. I invite you to wander through, notice what draws you, and trust what speaks to you!
