In May, I was accepted into an eight-week mentoring program to help me establish a sustainable income from teaching and my creative work. My hope for participating in the program was to get some technical help, and my goal was to create some online content, particularly videos, because I have been struggling for some time to get this part of my work launched.                         
As I enter the last week of the program...

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.

​Thank you for your support!
