In this vlog, I’m starting a project to design a sanctuary for snails. This is the first in a series where I’ll update you on my research, development, and design process. The process incorporates elements of meditation, hydro, and nature therapy, while I experience the healing benefits from designing for others.

This vlog is an extra long and cozy draw with me. The drawing is based on Johann Nilson's Trumeau de Glace, Germany, 18th c. In following my spirit guides, I added my own angel embellishments, creating a peaceful and meditative experience.

Ikebana is the meditative art of Japanese flower arrangement, focusing on balance, simplicity, and nature's elegance. In this vlog, I explore a similar calming process through drawing on post-its, capturing the essence of flowers in quick, mindful sketches.

Healing from Crohn’s disease brings me back to my days of traveling. With the freedom of wellness, I feel inspired to make destination goals and Hamburg, Germany is the first on the list. A quick research this weekend opened up several spas and float centers that I would like to relax in.

Creative Arts Therapies (CATs) are mental, physical, and emotional health specialties that integrate art, dance, music, theater, and poetry to foster authentic healing, enhance self-awareness, and provide multidimensional forms of communication. After meditation, progress to our personal truths may arise as well as emotions, memories, and traumas. CATs can help to heal those tough emotions as well as enrich our soul.

When I was 23 I was stuck in bed from Crohn’s disease. I gravitated toward passive activities such as browsing books, magazines, and photo albums and found refuge in the art of collaging. Collage is similar to meditation. I felt relaxed, restored, and rejuvenated enough to rebuild my creativity, self-expression, and imagination.

Inspired by Sage Sohier’s “Passing Time”, Hanging Out is a collection of photos about hanging out before 2020 and phone dependency.

Art of Two Germanys was the first special exhibition to go on view in LACMA’s Renzo Piano designed Broad building. At the time I interned for the education department, where I designed a gallery tour for that show. That summer I traveled to its second location, creating my first trip to Germany. I went there with research about their history and perspectives from their artists and came back with photos of my own. There are many aspects of the German culture that I would like to implement into my life and I hope to add to this photo series after each trip back.
