INTEGRATING LIFE WITH ART & NATURE
the earth cards
a deck of cards in the making inspired by the voice of the louisiana swamp. made with slowness and an intention for you to expand your relationship with the earth, wherever you are, too.
all proceeds from Substack subscribers go toward producing and printing the deck.
creating has always been about connecting to something larger than myself.
it started in my early teens — painting feelings that didn’t have words yet, sketching through loneliness and uncertainty, finding a quiet companionship in the work itself. art became a mirror and a doorway. eventually i realized healing myself and the world around me were the same thing.
over time that practice expanded my relationship with nature. the louisiana swamp — its birds, trees, waters, and shifting seasons — became my teacher and my collaborator. inevitably, in 2018, i became a forever student of earth medicines. giving my attention to the natural world in this way reminded me that meaning reveals itself slowly, and that’s okay.
my art and guidance lives in the liminal space between my inner world and nature — slow seasons, and darkness included. may it be a reminder empowerment and connection for you, too.
