This one is going to Valley Visions this weekend.

Where the Fairies Gather, No. 1.

It’s my first Valley Visions show. One of only a handful of times I’ve shared a painting publicly at all.

Here’s the thing about this painting — it wouldn’t exist without a journey I had to take first.

I began as an art teacher. I spent years holding space for other people’s creative expression. And somewhere in facilitating Wild Women and Paint From Your Soul — frameworks built around permission, intuition, and painting without a predetermined outcome — I finally gave myself the same invitation I’d been offering everyone else.

It took a while to believe in it. To trust the abstract. To let go of what a painting was supposed to look like and follow what it actually wanted to become.

This piece is acrylic on canvas, very expressionist, watercolor-inspired. The marks you’re seeing — the grasses, the leaves, the flower heads — those are real. Printed directly from plants. Dandelions. Grasses. Leaves I picked up and pressed into paint. I work with natural and recycled materials because the making feels more honest that way.

I paint to find out what’s there. The painting knows before I do.

This is the heartbeat of heARTscapes. Process over product. Presence over perfection. Making as the entry point into something true.

And from this place — I’ll be hosting a retreat this fall. More to come soon.

Where do fairies gather? Somewhere like this. Layered and luminous and a little bit hidden.

Come find it at Salida SteamPlant this weekend.
Friday May 8, 5–8pm (opening night)
Saturday May 9, 10am–4pm
Sunday May 10, 10am–3pm

Tomorrow morning, I’m opening the doors at Heartscapes Art Space for kids ages 4–8 for a last time this school year.

No agenda except to follow what’s interesting.

This is what I believe about kids and creativity: they don’t need to be taught to make things. They need a space that trusts them to do it their own way - without someone telling them what it’s supposed to look like.

The process is the point.
