If you’re a creative of any type (even those whose practice is separate from their income), I encourage you to do some digging and explore what your personal creative archetype might look like. What does your art do for you? For others? What do you do for it? If you’re like me, you may find that there’s more value there than you previously realized. 

Ask your unconscious what it wants you to know — you might just be surprised by what you hear.

I just dug this up from the basement - a 2017 recording of “Be Better” from my first album, Coming of Age. Should I arrange it for harp??

Harp on it.

A reflection on unexpressed anger, and a call to myself to finally give it a voice. To sound a battle cry for freedom.

As a member of the National Speleological Society, I decided to submit a writeup of Tapetum to their Arts & Letters publication, Illuminations. I included some photos I took inside Tawney’s Cave, one of myself with the lyrics to “Stalactites”, and a link to the track as-is (unfinished). Since I couldn’t physically attend the NSS convention, it was quite a surprise when I received an email letting me know I had won an award for it.

A call to all curious cavers:

enter the echo chamber with me as I begin my exploration of The Heroine’s Journey—unearthing the music, symbols, and lessons I have found in the dark.

A reflection on enoughness, creativity, and learning to honor what we already hold.

Lately, as I build out The Listener’s Lodge—a home for slow art and shared wonder—I’ve been thinking about what it really means to offer what we have, rather than mourn what we lack.
