How do you personally work with moon cycles in your own life, and do they influence how and when you create?
On the full moon, I sit with candle magic, commune with the flame, and release whatever feels heavy. On the new moon, I deep-clean my home and studio to reset my space and prepare for whatever creative energy is coming next. When I’m bleeding, I slow down and listen. As my energy returns, my creative fire returns with it. I look to the moon like an elder, noticing how my own tides echo her phases.
I honor that rhythm, and listen to what she asks of me. I was born under the waxing gibbous, which is a very spiritual and reflective phase. When the moon returns there, I journal more and pay close attention to what is surfacing. My clearest insights often come during that time.
What is one ritual or practice that keeps you grounded as an artist?
Long walks in nature, candle meditation, or any form of water—swimming, communing,
bathing, soaking, tea, herbal infusions.
What emotion or theme is currently moving through your creative work?
Lately, I’ve been focused on emotion itself. I’m letting myself feel it fully, without holding back, without explaining, without trying to make sense of it. I paint the feelings themselves through color and archetype. The work is carrying stored grief, memory, and expansion moving through me, and the process of painting becomes a way to witness, draw it out of the body, and honor it.
What do you hope this calendar invites women to feel or remember throughout the year?
I want it to remind women to trust their intuition - always intuition. I want them to remember their wildness, their inner power, their feral instincts, and their creative fires. When we move in cycles with the moon, with the seasons of the earth, we start to live in the alignment, not just with the wisdom of our own bodies, but with the collective of women who bleed, love, create, and fight together. This is how we begin to dismantle the systems that have separated us from that knowing.
What is something you are personally welcoming in or letting go of in this season of your life?
This season is about releasing deeply as a single mother, letting go of what no longer serves me, clearing space, and shedding old patterns. In that openness, I welcome deeper stability, ongoing devotion, and the work that wants to emerge fully, boldly, and on its own terms. I’m allowing the spirit of the work itself to guide the way and move into new mediums, scale, and spaces.
