Start Here with What Pulls… or What Hurts

The Part of You That Clicked

You don’t need to read everything. You just need to sense where the tension lives—and start there.

This isn’t a blog built for passive scrolling. It’s structured like a map, stitched like a spell—five pillars, each holding a different kind of weight. Some guide. Some confront. Some feel too close to touch.

What pulls you might scare you. What hurts might be calling.
Either way, there’s that part of you that showed up for a reason. This page exists to help you find where that reason lives.

Scroll down. Read the shape of each pillar. Click what stares back. The rest will wait until you’re ready.

1. Art as a Healing Tool

Not all wounds need words.

This pillar is about making what you can’t say, through ink, yarn, ritual, or rage.
Here, creativity isn’t just expression. It’s reclamation. It’s survival.

It’s a process that moves through pain, defiance, power, softness, and transformation—on purpose, and without apology.

Practical Guides for Healing Through Art

Creativity can heal—but not everyone knows where to start.

Practical Guides for Healing Through Art offers clear, structured exercises that help you process emotion, release tension, and rebuild self-trust through making.

You’ll find focused, repeatable rituals in ink, color, and motion—designed to pull truth out of hiding.

The Art of Unraveling

Healing doesn’t look like progress. It looks like falling apart.

The Art of Unraveling is about letting that happen—with intention, and without shame.

Through drawing, writing, stitching, or tearing it up—art gives form to the tangle.
It doesn’t fix you. It reveals the knots so you can finally loosen them.

2. Shadow Work and Psychological Exploration

Some truths don’t whisper—they wait.

This pillar holds what’s buried: fear, memory, projection, hunger.

Here, we use art to get under the surface—not to decorate the dark, but to face it.
It’s not about purging your Shadow. It’s about making space for what it knows.

Subcategories

Jungian Psychology and Self-Discovery

Jung didn’t just map the psyche—he gave us tools to speak with it.

This section explores archetypes, the Shadow, and the long pull toward integration.

Here, art becomes a mirror: for the stories you’ve lived, the roles you’ve played, and the Self you’re still uncovering.

Not to perfect yourself. To integrate what was buried.

Mental Illness and Resilience

This space doesn’t offer silver linings.

It holds both the struggle and the strength, without forcing them into harmony.

We talk plainly about PTSD, depression, anxiety, and the cost of survival.

Creativity doesn’t cure it. But it gives the pain a shape, and sometimes, a way through.

Symbolism and the Subconscious

The subconscious doesn’t speak in sentences—it speaks in symbols.

This section traces meaning through color, shape, texture, and imagery.

What shows up in your art often knows more than you do.

Here, we learn to read it.

3. Spirituality and Personal Transformation

This is where art becomes ritual—and ritual becomes change.

We work with intention, energy, ancestry, and instinct.

Here, creativity isn’t just expression. It’s connection.

To what’s bigger than you. To what’s buried in you. To what’s trying to rise.

Subcategories

Metaphysical and Symbolic Art

Art has always been more than visual—it’s been altar, offering, omen.

This space explores creativity as a channel for the unseen.

From ancient marks to modern rituals, we follow the threads of meaning, mystery, and transformation.

Not just to make art, but to make contact.

The Art of Unbecoming

This is where the good victim vanishes.

It’s for survivors done with silence, guilt, and playing the better person.

Disobedience becomes a spell. Severing ties becomes sacred. Refusing to perform becomes the healing.

These pieces don’t just help you leave something behind—
they help you become what you were told you could never be: loud, powerful, selfish, whole.

Working with Energy and Intention

Every piece holds energy—every action shapes it.

This space is about using creativity with purpose. We work with cycles, symbols, rituals, and materials to direct energy rather than drift with it.

Not to manifest perfection, but to create meaningful change from the inside out.

4. More Than Art

These aren’t just objects. They’re experiences.

Each piece holds story, symbolism, and energy—built to be felt, not just seen. This space reveals the why behind the work: what it carries, what it confronts, and what it’s made to do once it’s in your hands.

Because this isn’t art for the wall. It’s art for the soul.

Subcategories

Materials with Meaning

Every thread, stone, and scent is chosen on purpose.

This space unpacks the energetic and symbolic weight of the materials I work with—gemstones, herbs, twine, cloth, oils.

They don’t just support the piece—they shape its power, its purpose, and what it holds once it leaves my hands.

The Stories Behind the Work

Every piece begins with something unspoken—an image, a pull, a fracture that wants form.

This space unpacks the meaning, symbolism, and emotional weight inside the work—mine and others’.

It holds the stories stitched into each creation and the reasons they needed to exist.

5. Community and Connection

Art doesn’t exist in isolation—it resonates, reflects, and returns.

This pillar holds the shared spaces where creativity becomes relationship:
Stories from clients and collectors, personal accounts of creative growth, and the quiet rituals passed through each Dispatch.

It’s where the work moves between hands, hearts, and histories—and keeps shaping something larger than itself.

Subcategories

Collector and Client Stories

When a piece leaves my hands, its story doesn’t end—it deepens.

This space holds what happens next: the moments, memories, and meanings that emerge when someone lives with the work.

From custom dolls to unplanned resonance, these are the stories of what the art stirred once it found its Keeper.

Shadow Seekers’ Dispatch

Not everything has to be heavy to matter.

This space holds past editions of the Dispatch—monthly notes on art, energy, shadow work, and the creative life.

It offers space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what’s shifting—inside and out.
