Description

Every piece that I create holds a part of me. But, the 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗼𝗿'𝘀 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 collection bears all. It depicts my road of escape and healing from domestic violence. I honor all that it took to create them, and the surrender it takes to alchemize pain and trauma into the balm that heals. I honor and offer genuine connection by sharing the story behind each piece. And I give soul hugs with the hope it empowers, and/or validates other survivors.

My spiritual way of being and seeing things may include or exclude your practices and beliefs. But, understand that I am connected to all. You don't have to take my way home, take yours...we'll both get there.

𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 - (Star):

Esther is a courageous queen. She is standing in her power facing the dark. The wounds on her back and head represent betrayal and abuse (over 3 inches of hair was pulled out by my abuser before my escape). The pain and trauma were alchemized into gold. She...I am Kintsugi! Kintsugi is the art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. The pottery is then more beautiful and valuable than before. Lessons acknowledged and learned, self-love, forgiveness, and doing the self-work to heal are a lot like gold, silver, and platinum.
