Welcome to Kolibri Embers where art is a representation of repurposing and alchemizing nature – a connection to roots. When I work with wood, the connection is an awareness that the piece I am working with came from the earth, from a tree, from the land, from the roots, and was brought to me to change its form. Like wood, we also go through changes. We expand and contract depending on our environment, and sometimes we are uprooted to plant seeds and root ourselves in different phases of our life.

​

Additionally, I offer services under Raíz Creative Wellness, where sessions are focused on individuals experiencing grief and loss, as well as to promote relaxation and mindfulness through the creative process. I use my background in the arts and psychology to bring a holistic view of healing while also cultivating a connection with nature. This includes using art to remind ourselves that we are part of earth, part of the soil, and part of the ecosystem. Creative expression is engaged through the lens of Indigenous community healing and honoring the entire person – mind, body, spirit, and their connection to land and community. Cultivating each connection brings a sense of healing within our minds and body. We are not alone; we are part of a larger collective.
