Words have always been something I could retreat to during times where I was filled to the brim with emotion, which seemed to be more than often. Using writing as an outlet helped me through years of experiences, both good and bad. It’s just something I always did since I was a child. Learning to connect the dots and use language to share what was inside of me is a gift I am so grateful for. And I am excited to finally share my love for poetry through a new stationery collection, Grasp.

This new series is a small collection of poetry that I feel will help others reflect their own feelings. Here I share my purest emotion in hopes of creating connections that are meaningful and unforgettable.

It will be available July 1st! So stay tuned.

You never know, they might be winners this time around (crossing fingers). Below are all my entries and voting is open till May 15th! Just click on each to share your rating. Thank you!

I’ve been slowly working on developing a new card series that reflects my love for poetry and it’s been a little challenging. From digging through years of writing to figuring out the best design direction, it’s been an interesting journey. Since it’s quite personal, I feel like I’m sharing a piece of my heart, while trying to create a platform for others to make an intimate connection with each other. It’s sort of the way I felt while I was working on my Reflection Series, but this is deeper.

Being an artist you really need to be brave and just dive in, even though you don’t know how others will react. But I have always felt safe in the creative place I am in while doing the work. As long as I’m being true to myself and creating art, I am exactly where I need to be. I hope to launch this series by spring, but until then I’ll be a busy bee piecing it all together.
