Smoke and Mirrors
The gray blanket lying over the coast began to rise, breaking into gigantic, airborne pillows that slowly wisped out of existence. The late morning sun gradually broke through, casting long rays through the darker clouds that snagged on the forested hills on the opposite shore.

Steel Arches, Soft Hearts
"That's all, right?" my sister asked "yeah, all packed up" A photograph isn’t just a snapshot; it’s a story, a feeling, and sometimes, a new reality. This photo, taken on a pivotal afternoon, became a canvas for the emotions my sister and I carried—a moment that felt like it belonged in a movie, one where we dared to hope for a happy ending.

Spirit Island
2021, fresh out of COVID territory, my Ex and I decided to go somewhere after spending the year in lock-down while going through his cancer treatments. It was a trying year and we both were in desperate need to live again. He decided upon Calgary, Alberta – specifically to visit the Canadian Badlands in Drumheller, Banff National Park and Jasper National Park of Canada.

Rainbow Solace. Runner-Up in Through the Lens Challenge.
Do you know one of those moments when your heart feels constricted and all of your innards tied up, where the only way you can function is to keep moving and take one jagged breath at a time? This was one of those.

An Ocean of Discovery
Ever since my son could crawl around, he's been exploring the encyclopedias on the lowest bookshelf. He fell in love with the ocean through shows and videos over the pandemic lock downs that moved his preschool days to the home office. He grew up alongside the baby animals that came and went through our home during my own animal science career, and now he is diving deeper into the world of animals and more than anything marine biology. It's so much fun to experience alongside him, and to feel the rejuvenation of my own passion that brought me into the animal science career in the first place!

Trust the Fall
On a crisp winter day, I took a trip to Niagara Falls in the negative four-degree weather. I went there to have a day with a friend with the intention of doing a video shoot, but what I left with was far more valuable. With the day ahead of us, we woke up nice and early. We were so excited to go to the falls even though we were fully aware that the weather was going to be less than desirable. We bundled up in layers. I wore three pairs of pants, two sweatshirts, two pairs of socks, a coat, a scarf, and two layers of gloves, and I was still freezing. The cold air bit through every layer, but the excitement of the day kept us moving forward.

New Beginnings
I’ve found spontaneous decisions are always the best. It was New Year’s Eve and I was about to take a nap and set my alarm for 10pm so I could get up and paint as we crossed into 2025. I had already purchased a nice half bottle of sparkling rose champagne to drink as I danced on my canvas.

Lightless
It was hot. And humid. The room tasted like summer, all wet dirt and corn sweat. Focusing on anything, let alone something as consuming as writing a novel, was bordering on insane. Or impossible. The effort of thought was strenuous enough to break a sweat. And I was already sweating.

The Preservation of Something Not Yet Gone
The preservation of something not yet gone. There’s some people that always feel like they’re going to live forever. My grandmother is not one of them. Since she was in her late 80s, she has felt the weight of her age in her bones, and although she has remained as sharp as a tack, the frailty of her body has grown more and more obvious. This past year, she turned 100 years old. Even in the celebration of that number, the dread of her death is every present. Not many people live that long. Not many people want to.
