Hi friends! This news has been a good while in the works, and if you’ve been through the space in the last couple months then you likely will have heard… I’m packing up the studio, and moving things out to the countryside! 🤎🌾 My time in this space is wrapping up later this month. 🫶🕰️

This dream has been a long time in the making, and I feel so fortunate to be making a move towards the things that truly nourish me in This Natural World. Much has unfolded over the last few years - and months - that has prompted me to question how I see myself, and all people, connected to plants, the planet, and the communities that form around us. Guided by a yearning to live in reciprocity with the materials that make up my work, I am deeply looking forward to exploring new ways to enrich the way I work with plants and flowers. There will be many new arrangements - and experiments - on the horizon. ✨

And while the decision has been energising, it’s also bittersweet, at it also brings changes for dear Earthside, and the community that has formed within these four walls. It has been a privilege and my most heartfelt pleasure to share this space, and the time spent in here hosting has felt equally important to any of my work made while in flower mode. I have been humbled to witness many of you lead by example, and show such creative, compassionate and generous ways of participating in the world. Your company has been a gift. 🪲 My sincere hope is that the seeds sown here might be transplanted in good time… the soil is fertile where I’m going, and I would very much like to extend an invitation to anyone who wants to come along for the ride. More on that to come. 🌱

So much more could be said, but I fear the word limit, and so first - a quick bit of housekeeping (plus some extra ways to stay in touch!) shared in the comments:
