"Shadow in the Light" new watercolor painting, 2025 Either my crystal ball needs to be shined up a little bit or everything has gotten so wonky that there are just too many x factors currently for accurate predictions. Needless to say, even though I purchased the exact same amount of 2025 Spirit Cats Calendars as the 2024 calendars that I sold, this year's sales have been unnervingly slow. Every previous year, I sold out and even had to make additional orders. It's been so unpredictable over...

I am back in my neighborhood french cafe after a long time away, sipping my iced almond milk latte and writing to you all with a bunch of fun things to share. The sun is shining here and I am putting energy towards creating a lovely, productive day and cultivating joy. Hope your day is filled with simple, sweet magic as well. New White Dream Cat Pin I just added a new White Dream Cat gold enamel pin to my shop. It is the reverse image of my Black Dream Cat Pin so they make an adorable pair,...

Dear friends, Let us draw a sacred circle around this moment, right here, right now. Let go of everything that has come before this moment and everything that will come after it. Consciously relax you body, soften your mouth, and let your hands unfurl and rest. Hear the sounds of the world around you. Feel the air on your skin. Is it warm or cool? Is the sun filtering softly in or are you illuminated by lamplight? Take a deep breath in and sigh it out, letting go of any gripping or bracing....

Hi friends, I am just reaching out to you all to let you know that I am still here. I have had an extremely challenging beginning of the year with an intense personal, emotional upheaval rocking my very foundation and coinciding with the heart-breaking destruction of the fires here in Los Angeles where I live. I am leaning heavily on my spiritual tools, resources, healers and community to help me through this time. Some of the things that have been helpful to me during this time: Practicing...

"Sorceress" archival art print, available in my shop Thank you to everyone who made it out to my art opening this past Saturday night for the Tiny Glimmers Exhibit at Leanna Lin's Wonderland. I loved seeing all the art and getting to met the people who were bringing my paintings home. Such a warm, connected vibe in a colorful and magical space. Katya Rudneva, the wonderful intuitive channel, and I also did Spirit Cat Card Readings. People laughed, cried and went deep. I was blown away by the...

Hello moon kitties, I just finished up a series of 3 paintings for a group art show and I can't wait to share them with you. The theme of the exhibit is TINY GLIMMERS curated by the wonderful artist, CJ Metzger, and gallery owner, Leanna Lin. If you haven't already heard of glimmers, they are having a moment on social media and are the opposite of “triggers”. They are tiny micro-moments of joy — fleeting, everyday moments that elicit a rush of happiness and gratitude. They can take many...

Hello moon kittens, Do you have your Halloween costumes and enchantments all planned? I am going to be a make-shift tree elf – make-shift because all my creative energies have been poured into my Wander Kittens and Spirit Cats calendar lately. I will be going into the forest though to dance will my fellow witches and wizards this weekend. I intend to use it as a celebration and closing ritual to this big adventure of running the Wander Kittens Kickstarter which ENDS this Wednesday morning,...

So it has all been quite A LOT lately. The collective is brimming with intense feelings, oscillating quickly between grief, hope, anxiety, compassion, love and anger. My own life has also felt quite turned up with both unprecedented challenges and beautiful peek experiences. When the world feels a bit wild and fragmented both internally and externally, it is time to create a pocket of calm and cleanse and ground our energy. Let us both take a deep inhale. Pause at the top, breath in a little...

Hi moon kitties, Time has felt mischievous, bending, shrinking and expanding all at once. So it seems that my Kickstarter for my Wander Kittens Pocket-Sized Oracle Decks and Travel Sets is ending in a week on Tuesday, Oct. 30 at 11:11am PT, the day before Halloween. 😳 If you feel drawn to my little cutes, the Wander Kittens, and their poetic incantations and reflection questions, here is why you should back my Kickstarter campaign rather than waiting: The prices of the decks are the lowest...
