Nature, and most specifically the river where I am from, is my solace.

Every year since turning thirty I have taken a portrait on my birthday. This one is from last year.. somehow this year came and went, I spoke the intention of setting time aside, and I never took the photograph.
With all the fires in Northern California (my daughter was out of school for a week when her school almost burned down) a dear friend put together a website (California Fire Help) to sell work donated by artists near and far with 100% of profits being sent to Redwood Credit Union's North Bay Relief Fund. I've donated a few pieces alongside so so many talented artists. Take a moment to explore the website and support those in Northern California who have lost so much.
The vision of vision. #expansive
Remember to love. And volunteer and donate during these fiercely tender times where we all need each other. How do we show our love, our support? Mexico, Puerto Rico, California, and so much more.
Learning to love. And to stay true to myself in the midst.
