a little life update from me

Due to COVID-19, I was let go at the end of March 2020.

I’ve felt every possible emotion on the spectrum on a seemingly two-minute loop — and still actively am. If you know me, you know my work was far more than just work— it was the heartbeat of my every day.

Life is compounding on all the effects of this virus. We’re facing far more than sickness — we’re facing loss on a whole other trajectory. This virus has truly taken something human from all of us. But I think that the only way to heal is by going back to our own humanity in the process.

I’ve spent the last three weeks healing in the form of running and writing and knitting and reading and cooking and just being in these mountains that made me fall in love with the brevity of this work in the first place.

And in the midst of this, I’ve also felt an overwhelming amount of gratitude surface in feeling all of this. Gratitude for the three years I spent learning, serving and pouring every ounce of my creative energy. Gratitude for meeting people from all walks, all corners of this world. Gratitude for the person I have become in the process. Gratitude for the three years that were among the best of my life.

During my time, I was able to tell the story of water’s power in shaping social, environmental and economic landscapes around the world. The wholistic value of Wine To Water’s work flows far “beyond water” and I was able to give these words life.

These stories are the best I’ve ever told. And so while I am still feeling, I know to to consider this a failure or anything less than my greatest success is to do an entire disservice to my time as a whole. I’m overwhelmingly grateful.

Grateful, and ready to begin again.

I’m selling prints and hosting photography sessions for the time being. Please check out this portfolio for samples of my work 💛 If you can support me during this unknown time, I would love to share my art with you in any capacity.

We’re all feeling right now because there is so much to feel. Give yourself time but know that even in this, and all the compounding effects that you’re feeling in this viruses wake, we can come back gratitude.
