INTENTION
“I have created art for as long as I can remember, but deepened my dedication to painting in 2019 when I attended my first visionary art workshop, which started me on the journey of learning technical painting skills as well as creating art as a spiritual practice. My earlier years focused on academics, while I created art primarily for myself as a way to process emotions and settle my nervous system. I have also been a long time advocate for psychedelic research and drug policy reform which led me to working as a psychedelic integration specialist and training as a psychedelic therapist. I am thrilled to be able to weave these threads of my 3 passions together of art, healing, and psychedelics at The Haven“
“If the artist cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found” -Terence McKenna
