BeeTenderly Studio
If this work moves you and you would like to collaborate on a piece, I’m open to commissions and custom artworks. Reach out below to get the process started:
I am an emerging artist, lifelong poet, and transplant to the Yakima Valley since 2011. Raised by a creek in the rolling hills of northern Delaware, I’m also a stan for our deep interconnectedness with the natural world and the sacredness of our psychological wounds.
My work explores the complicated relationship between our shadows and our hope and is influenced by my experience of childhood emotional abuse and neglect; my experience as a mother; my participation and apprenticeship in community grief ritual and matriarchal, earth-based spirituality; and my deep love of beauty.
In my first exhibit, “Grief and Other Gifts” - which was hosted by Yakima Healing Arts from March to May 2026 - my work weaves together affirmations, limiting beliefs, color, ink, nature imagery, abstract forms, neurographic lines, and runny paint cascading down the paper like teardrops. Each piece is created through a process of transformation – some more intellectual and some more expressive – that ultimately aims to find hope and resolve within the tumult and heartbreak of these unprecedented times.
My hope is that this work connects with you, and that it inspires you to connect to your unique gifts and story.
