๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ€ Pink Moon in the Pottery Portal ๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒ•

I'm still soaking up the energy of this recent Pink Moon. The first Full Moon of the Astrological year, a Libra Full Moon. Calling forth balance, harmony, peace and patience ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

I spent the evening painting bisqueware by candle light as I gazed at the moon glowing through my window. Creating, for me, is a ritual. Whether I'm pinching clay or painting it, whether I'm drawing or touching a canvas, each moment I turn to a medium I reach for an herb or a wood to burn. And as I bask in its smoke I send prayers and wishes to the world. Prayers to the people and creatures. Prayers to the plants and rivers. Prayers to myself and to the divine.

On this night I felt a particular connection to my ancestry. Wondering how many of the women and men that stood before me were artists and creatives. Wondering how many of them gazed upon the Full Moon just as I was, almost in love with its crisp light against the darkness of the night sky. Wondering how many of them felt peace as I felt it in that moment. I sunk into gratitude and bathed in it for the night.

The Pink moon always brings forth this energy of hope for me. For it comes just after the budding of Spring has begun, and it illuminates the world as the earth is waking from her winters slumber. I love romanticising these moments, soaking them up in their beauty and honoring the pull to celebrate the wonders of this earth and its rhythms, and the moon that circles her cycles.

I wish for you blessings and balance as the Pink Moon wanes ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒฟ


In the Pottery Portal I am experimenting with a new product! The Mayco Jungle Gems Glaze in Herb Garden. These glazes are packed with bits of colored glass that melt and react in different temperatures to offer unique finishes. I love the unpredictability of this glaze and I look forward to sharing the results of these pieces with you.

All of these gorgeous Pink Moon pieces are glazed and are currently waiting for their final warm nap in the kiln at . Soon I'll share them with you!

Wishing you a beautiful day!

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒ€ Bisqueware in the Pottery Portal ๐ŸŒ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

While the robins sing outside my window and the sun shines in through the clouds, I prepare to adorn a plentiful array of bisqueware with paintings of nature. With spring budding all across the valley my heart is filled with inspiration for what will soon be blooming! I wonder what I will paint today.

As the energy of the Libra Full Moon rises in the air, I'm feeling more grounded and trusting in what is to come. Balance, harmony, peace. Letting go and letting dust settle, easing into routine and waking more passion within. On day 13 of my cycle, I'm grateful to have paint brush in hand and to sit among burning incense in creative ritual.

What is budding for you while spring unfurls? What is calling to your heart as the Full Moon approaches?

Whatever it is that comes forth during the peak of this lunar cycle, I wish you harmony and peace ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโœจ

Now back to the clay...

Spring breathes new life into this earth, the wind, the waterways and into all creatures, us people included.

The last couple of nights have offered up a burst of creative energy, and I've obliged this calling to the clay. Time seems to slip away when I'm with the clay pinching and smoothing and sculpting, shaping this mud from the earth into beautiful vessels and figures.

Crafting by candlelight caresses a special place in my wild heart. It's soft and soothing and inspiring. Working with the elements of fire and earth, there's something almost primal about it. And I do love the sentimental nature of candles. Each one representing something cherished. A spell, a friend, a chapter in life.

I'm in full pottery production and it feels wonderful to get into such a groove. On day 6 of my cycle I feel grateful for the energy and inspiration that brings me to such grand productivity. Under the gaze of the waxing crescent moon, I breathe into the greatness that is to come. Much newness is budding for The Humble Hermit and I'm excited to share more with you soon.

๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒผ Blessed Ostara ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒฟ

As the wheel of the year turns, new life is birthed.
Ostara, the Spring Equinox brings forth a special kind of energy, one that is longed for after braving the depths of winter. An emergence from the darkness, and welcoming of the light, a delicate balance of both.

As winter breathes its final exhales in the cool mornings of early spring, I notice the birds singing more passionately. The smell of rain rather than the chill of snow. Bits of green pushing up, even amongst the frost that lingers for the coming weeks. The beautiful crocus, honeybees buzzing, life budding.

Ostara is one of my favorite sabbats, purely for its folklore and the anticipation of warmer and more colorful days ahead. It's like a welcoming parade for the flower and the fearies. I always feel my inner passion budding with childlike wonder and curiosity during this changing of seasons. And so I've been creating, quietly in the last moments of winter, calling in rebirth and newness.

In honor of Spring I am softly sharing a soon coming rebrand with you all. The Humble Hermit is shifting and growing and I'm so very grateful to share these next chapters with you. They are wild, soft and curious. Nurturing my relationship with nature and spirit while creating art. Much newness is budding in my life right now, and I welcome it all in with an open heart ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฟ

Blessed Ostara to you. May all that is rising with life nurture your heart and soul ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโœจ

โœจ๐ŸŒฟ Creations from seasons past ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

As Ostara approaches and the air gently warms, calling in a new cycle of seasons, I am reminded to reflect on seasons past.

From heart to hand to clay, I have created so much art in the last year. As I sit in reflection I realize that hundreds of my creations reside in the homes of hundreds of beautiful humans all over the world, all because I create and they connect with my art. My heart is so full ๐Ÿ’– It truly is magickal being an artist.

Here I have some of my favorite pieces and moments from the last year of creating. Travelling and sharing my art with beautiful people all over Western Canada has truly been a dream come true. From festivals to markets, I'm so grateful to all of you who have connected with my art and I. The Humble Hermit has birthed my greatest dreams, it has been years in the making, thank you for being here!

1. The Lover - a piece crafted amongst a time that demanded my values be known and shown. "I'd rather not understand someone and love them, than decide I understand someone and choose to hate them." -JS

2. Portal of Creation - my first large scale pottery wall hanging project made of many diverse vulvas, each carved by hand and glazed to reveal the juiciness of their cycle.

4. Strawberry Moon Mug - This was part of the 3rd round of mugs I made last year, and I was super proud of the development of my mug making skills! I painted so many strawberries and moons as the Strawberry Moon was approaching last June.

7. Sooooo many Mushrooms! - Can you guess what was my top selling items last year? All my whimsical folk love my mushy creations ๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒฟ thank you for collecting these charming fungi friends!

8. Watercolor Oracle Cards - my favorite personal project, I picked up my watercolors after a hiatus from the medium and began crafting my first card deck. She is a labour of love, one day I'll birth her to the world โœจ

10. ๐Ÿ“ธ

As the earth stirs and prepares to birth anew, I too steep in inspiration and cultivate the power to sprout some new art. Until then, I'm celebrating this last year and the final breaths of winter.

New Moon Blessings to you ๐ŸŒ‘โœจ

Hello beautiful community, I hope your winter hibernating has brought you great rest and inward churning wisdom. This dark time of year has great teachings to offer, and in its stillness I'm finding rejuvenation.

As Spring approaches, I'm feeling a curious pull toward the outside world. Poking my nose out of my cozy cave and taking soft steps back into the spaces of community, it's nice to come back to you.

I wish you blessings on this New Moon, the first of the lunar year, the year of the Horse. Wild and free shall we be. In the darkness of this new moon lays the nourishment for seeds planted. May we plant wisely and intuitively, for our gardens are sure to be lush in the moons to come.


Amongst this time of newness, rebirth and eclipse, I'm preparing to renew this page. Soon I will be burning all previous posts to make way for what The Humble Hermit wishes to bring forth. This isn't erasure, it is rebirth. Please enjoy my page and its memories, for soon I'll be bringing forth a fresh energy and perspective to all that I share here.

Moving with grace and intention, while the dark moon passes over us. I wish you blessings as we step into this budding lunar year ๐ŸŒ‘๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโœจ

๐Ÿ‚ The slowing of the seasons ๐Ÿ‚

In the slowing of the seasons I'm reminded of the reasons why slowing down is so great.

When I'm feeling tired from summer dreams transpired, I often eagerly wait...

For the turning of the leaves, the browning of the trees and the cool stillness of the lake.

As nature turns inward and begins to curl, I too feel something stirring within me.

A special inspiration offering a nurturing invitation to find slowness in each breath and beat.

To take the pace of the slug, to have the will of the gull and to remember to sleep like the snake.

Hibernation, instigation, decay and defeat sit around. And I wonder, I wonder, will I be somber as the seasons begin to slow down?

And here I am, in the thick fog of fall. Painting, inspired and curious...

Of the shadows that lurk longer than the sun does smirk, particularly if they seem audacious.

To the wild and unknown that comes when it is cold to charm and challenge all comforts awake.

The deer pitter patter and the warmth dares to scatter, as I sit and I put paper to paint.

Slowing down feels strange yet quaint.

Like a quiet cabin on the smallest lake.

Like the caw of the crow in the silence of winter.

Like the fond remembrance of a final glimmer.


One thing I will always turns to is art. No matter what I'm feeling or experiencing in life, I know some medium can conjure my heart up to the surface. When I'm feeling lost in all of the feelings that slowing down brings to me, I remember to create. Just for fun, or to share, or perhaps to let go of.

Lately I've been breaking out some beautiful watercolor paints that I have from the wonderful . My partner gifted these to me in winter and I always seem to gravitate to them as the seasons begin to slow down. It's funny how the cycles work.

Finding inspiration in nature and art always brings me back home to myself. I'm grateful to be here and to share some creative magick with you. Thank you for being here โœจ

What do you appreciate about the slowing of the seasons?

โœจ๐ŸŒฟ Autumn is creeping in ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Ahhhhh.... Shhhhh...

As the leaves are yellowing, my heart is swelling with love and inspiration as I exhale in my sweet home. Nesting and preparing for the days ahead as the sunlight shrinks and the cool crisp mornings kiss me.

This summer season has been nothing short of abundant and exuberant. Younger Jasper, who first created The Humble Hermit, dreamt that one day she'd like to be travelling and selling her art. Her and I have some big celebrations wrapping us in love as this summer season comes to a close ๐Ÿฅฐโœจ

I have a big heart filled thank you to everyone I met along my travels this summer! And despite the car accident I experienced, I'm feeling grateful for everything that I got to hold in my hands and heart this summer. I truly cherish the amazing experiences that I shared at and ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฟ
Women are medicine, our stories are medicine, our vulnerable and wild presence is medicine for eachother, the collective and this earth.

I'm currently enjoying a slow return to myself and the clay. After exploring Vancouver Island for the last few weeks with my love I'm feeling deeply inspired to create and can't wait to see what comes forth!

As we creep into Autumn I'm excited to tell ya that I'll be sharing my love and art at
And !! ๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒฟ

As September dwindles and October creeps closer, may you enjoy the turning of the seasons. The slow creeping in of Autumn is so very welcome right now ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป if you need me I'll be embracing softness and roasting root vegetables ๐Ÿ‚

Well well well, Invermere!! You're my last stop for my Summer Season Festival & Market Tour! It's such a pleasure to be back at the Invermere Farmers and Artists Market!

I'm here sharing my smiles and creations until 1 today! Come by and say hello to the incredibly talented vendors of the Columbia Valley! This is such a wonderful market filled to the brim with locally grown food, art, wears, treats and more!

My heart is smiling as I sit here in the sunshine taking in this magical moment. 3 years ago when I moved to this beautiful valley, I showed up with my creations at this market unsure and excited to be welcomed by the community. This market has held many precious exchanges between the people of the valley, the travellers and I, an ambitious artist.

To think I've spent dozens of weekends here where my sharing my art has made me so many friends, special connections and gratefully, this space has shown me that dreams do come true! Ever since I was little I've wanted to be a successful artist. And this market has helped me grow greatly over the last 3 years.

I'm so grateful to be here today. If you're in town come say hello! I'd love to see you :)

Now, make like a flower and get some sunshine! It's a gorgeous August day!

I'm so glad to be here posting and saying hi to you! These last few weeks have held a special kind of slowness for me as I've been recovering from an unfortunate car accident. It feels good to be returning to myself, although I know I won't be the same as before. I have immense gratitude to still be here at all ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’–

Although I had to pause my beautiful working life for a while, I'm so dearly excited to be heading off tomorrow to the final festival of my BC & AB Festival Tour! Tomorrow this gal and her beautiful creations make their way to wildfestivalcommunity for their Alberta She is Wild Fest!

It was so very magickal taking in this festival last month in BC. One thing I LOVE about She is Wild Fest is they offer a festival experience where you can really slow down and take in every bit of the land, the women, the workshops and yourself. After being swept off of my feet by the incredible and , She is Wild Fest is a true treat of depthful slowness ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
