The Spring Azure Butterfly & Speedwell blossom is the latest embroidery I completed. It is available and can be purchased from my Ko-fi shop.
About the embroidery. When I was a kid, I loved following these tiny butterflies as they skipped along, close to the ground. Spring Azures is one of the earliest butterflies to come out in the spring. I chose this patterned fabric, as it reminded me of the grasses that the butterflies would skip across. I added the speedwell blossoms, as they are such cute little flowers that grow low to the ground and dot the grass with their pretty periwinkle petals.

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!
