About My Work

My primary medium is hand embroidery, but I do occasionally work with yarn, pencil, pen, and paint. I also offer commissioned hand-embroidered pet portraits.

Most of my artwork explores the beauty and mystery of nature through the use of color, symbolism, and story. “At the point” of a needle or pen, I reveal my internal process of understanding the great mystery of life and death.

I also teach contemplative creativity--a practice of meditation and mindfulness through creative work. My mission is to help others discover the healing and well-being generated through contemplative creativity.

As a solitary Zen monk, I live a simple life, devoting much time to teaching and helping others improve their lives. Whether through purchasing my art or becoming a patron, your support goes directly to cover living expenses and material costs.
