I’m a songwriter and storyteller with a sappy-side for all the nature-nerdy things of life. Nature teaches me to love. Still, coming into adulthood during a time that's been saturated with narratives of environmental disaster and social reckoning has not been easy. As such, I’ve dedicated my life to asking:
What does it really mean that Peace begins with me?
To support my wonder, my songs and stories merge the power of authenticity and affirmation with compassionate service to life. As a firm believer in the power of the heart, my art is committed to walking the tender tightrope of life's cycles and paradoxes by exploring:
How & why does love matter, even in situations when I haven’t felt loved?
How & why does gratitude matter, even when things are tough?
How & why does hope matter, even in times that feel impossible?
and, How & why do I hold my ground?
In asking these questions, I’m so grateful to the metaphors of the Earth for providing a compass for life's confusions (as I’m all too familiar with the upside-down and turned-around challenges of being human). The more I wonder and learn about (our) nature, the more I come to love this living mirror.
That being said, I’m dedicated to leaving room for the ongoing discovery of life's endless balancing. To that end, I celebrate the strength of community in the same way that I celebrate the strength that comes with biodiversity. As such, I aim to share support with folks who see things differently (even tho it's not always easy). I’m so grateful to learn something every day about the wonders and beauty of making peace.
