Founder of Zephyr & Tide

Interdisciplinary artist, facilitator, and lifelong student of the psyche. Based among the Santa Cruz Mountains and Big Sur coastline of California.

I’m fascinated by the enigmatic human experience — dreams, stories, thresholds, and the beauty of the natural world. Again and again, I find myself in awe of the same mystery: an intrinsic intelligence moving through life. A tendency toward integration, balance, and wholeness, even when the path there is anything but linear.

At the heart of my work is a devotion to witnessing. To unearthing the beauty that emerges when something is finally seen, honored, and brought into conscious relationship. A belief that the art of witnessing can transform the way we experience ourselves, one another, and the earth we inhabit.

Honest Storytelling
FOR emotive souls

I believe we all have a story to share, a feeling to express, a love to honor — sometimes we just need the space to return to ourselves and create art that remembers.

So let’s create something honest. Something real. Something you’ll feel in your bones when you look back.
