- Rumi
My work begins with feeling. Something internal that asks to be made visible. Sometimes it becomes a piece of art. Sometimes it becomes a journal entry, a prompt, a ritual. Hands of a Maker holds both, the personal and the shared. It’s the space where my own creative practice lives alongside the tools I offer to help others use creativity as a way in. A way to see themselves more clearly, to reflect, to stretch into what’s next. This is for anyone drawn to a more creative way of being. For those in transition, in search, in the midst of becoming.
You don’t need to be an artist. You don’t need to know what you’re doing. You only need the pull to feel more connected to yourself and the willingness to meet whatever shows up on the page. The work I offer lives in the in-between. Part reflection, part creation, part remembering. It’s not about outcomes. It’s about process. About showing up with your hands, your heart, and a sense of curiosity. If you’re here, something in you already knows. This is the practice. This is the way home.
A creative tool for healing, reflection & self-discovery
A journal to reconnect with what matters. Your memories, your moments, and the parts of yourself you may have lost along the way.
Over 30 days, you’ll be guided to notice the details of your life through simple prompts for drawing, writing, and reflection. It’s a chance to slow down, to heal, and to rediscover pieces of your past and present that are worth holding onto.
You don’t need to be an artist, and this isn’t about making art.
It’s about making space for yourself.
