Emotional Archaeology
🧠 What It Means: Emotional archaeology is like digging into your inner world—memories, feelings, thoughts, traumas, joys, even silences—and uncovering them layer by layer, like artifacts in the ground. Rather than starting from a concept or subject, she often starts from a feeling or a moment. It’s intuitive, reflective, and very raw. 🔍 In Practice, It Looks Like: 🎨 Imagine This: You sit down to draw. You’re not planning a face—you’re drawing what it felt like to lose someone, or the calm of a childhood summer night, or a dream that left you weird all day. You don’t worry about making it pretty—you make it honest. That’s emotional archaeology.

The Girl Whom Asked
I was only one once—or maybe I was three,a chorus of quiet girlsstacked in the skin of me. I asked, and the world—without flinching—answered.No fairy-tale endings,no gentle edits.Just the pulse of truth,warm in the palm,like something alive. By five, I met Da Vinciin a picture book I didn’t fully understandbut couldn’t stop staring at—a man inside a circle,arms stretching past reason,telling methat I, too, was geometrymade flesh. I was six when I boughta book about dogs giving birth—not for the shock,but for the story.The cycle.The way lifefolded into itselfand opened again. I was sevenwhen I learned about black holes.Stephen Hawking’s voicespoke in star-stuff and silence.I didn’t know the math,but I…

Plug-ins and Other Lonely Things
I was always obsessed as a kid—with the wrong things. Or maybe just things that didn’t fit neatly into conversations, things people didn’t really know how to respond to. Facts that got met with a blank stare or a quick subject change. I wanted to talk about HTML. I wanted to talk about how computers work, why I love animals, and how fonts can make you feel something. Sometimes I even irritated myself. It wasn’t that I thought no one would listen. It’s more that I’ve always had interests most people don’t really like, and… that’s okay. I’m learning that it’s okay. My brain’s always been loud with connections no…

Remembering the Internet Before Social Media
Staring at a Windows ME screen, watching the flicker of a bulky CRT monitor. The sound of the dial-up connection—those beeps, the static, the waiting. A moment of silence, then the internet arrives. The first time I messaged someone on ICQ, it felt different. No phone call, no face-to-face conversation—just words appearing on a screen from someone who wasn’t in the room. A quiet, electric kind of connection. This was before social media, before followers and engagement, before everything became about visibility. Back when you talked to people because you wanted to, not because you had to keep up appearances. Back when the internet felt more like a place to…

The Art of Digital Gifting: Creating Stickers That Bring Joy
Why I Started Making Stickers Remember when the internet felt like a massive art exchange? Before every platform wanted you to “monetize your passion”? Yeah, I miss those days too. Or maybe you are too young to remember. That is ok!!! 😌 I started creating my monthly sticker collections because I was nostalgic for that feeling of stumbling across someone’s personal website and finding little digital treasures you could take with you. Those “right-click and save” moments that made the early web feel like a giant collaborative art project. Each sticker begins as a doodle in my sketchbook—usually while I’m half-watching a show or listening to a podcast. The wonky…

Art Over Coffee, Neurographic Art, Freedom of Lines, Connection Intergration, Embellishment
Take a journey with me into the meditative flow of neurographic art. With a cup of coffee by my side, I’ll explore this unique process of transforming lines and shapes into harmonious, calming designs. Let’s spark creativity and find balance together Neurographic art is a creative and meditative art form that combines freeform drawing with intentional reflection. It was developed in 2014 by Russian psychologist Pavel Piskarev. The process involves drawing spontaneous lines and connecting them in a way that transforms stress, emotions, or thoughts into a harmonious visual composition. Key elements include: Freeform lines: Starting with intuitive, curved lines that cross over and create intersections. Connection and integration: Rounding…
