MY Story
Ever since I was a child, I have been captivated by nature. It all began when, at the tender age of 9, a woman who lived in the woods served me a salad made from flowers. That experience ignited a lifelong fascination with plants and their innate aliveness.
Over the past two decades, I have dedicated myself to studying and immersing myself in the realm of botanical knowledge. From Chinese herbology to Western herbs, Caribbean herb lore to African and Native American medicine traditions, I have absorbed every bit of wisdom these diverse cultures offer.
Recently, my journey led me to discover the fascinating world of energetic healing through plants. This holistic approach recognizes that plants possess physical properties and energetic qualities that can positively impact our well-being - on multiple levels.
MY ART
I'm passionate about discovering and reconnecting with Mother Nature. I believe that nature has incredible healing powers, and I love exploring how we can harness those powers to heal our bodies, minds, and spirit.
My art reflects my connection with nature. When I create, my hands are led by the vine, guiding me in the process of transforming natural materials into stunning pieces of art.
Through my artistry, I aim to create pieces that not only captivate the eye but also evoke a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. It is my belief that by surrounding ourselves with these creations, we can reconnect with the natural world and find solace in its presence.
I look forward to sharing my work and bringing a touch of nature's beauty into your life or space.
WHY AYAHUASCA
Years ago, I was gifted an Ayahuasca vine. I loved her energy, so I planted her in my garden. Little did I know that this simple act of receiving a plant would have such a profound impact on my life. It wasn't until much later that I discovered the true beauty she held within.
I was at a crossroads in my life, seeking healing, redirection, and purpose. It was during this time that my friend and mentor introduced me to the art of wrapping orchids. With each twist and turn, I felt a deep sense of healing permeating through my mind and heart. The process became more than just creating art; it became a transformative journey toward self-discovery and inner peace It was then the idea for Ayahuasca Vine art was born, and it has expanded beyond my imagination. The vine became not only my muse but also my guide towards finding clarity amidst life's uncertainties.
Through this newfound artistic expression born from the Ayahuasca vine's influence, I have been able to channel my emotions into tangible creations that speak volumes about my journey. Each piece carries within it fragments of healing energy. Twenty years ago, I had the privilege of participating in my first ayahuasca ceremony. The sacredness and reverence with which people approached this ancient plant medicine left a lasting impression on me. It was through this experience that I truly grasped the reasons behind the respect and gratitude bestowed upon Ayahuasca.
Ayahuasca, along with other plant medicines, has an incredible ability to heal our souls. It serves as a powerful reminder of our true essence and guides us toward letting go of what no longer serves us. Through its profound effects, it reveals the interconnectedness of all things, reminding us that we are part of a greater whole.
The mere presence of these potent vines in one's hand can initiate profound shifts within our psyche, unveiling visions that offer insights into ourselves and the world we inhabit.
