MK, thank you. The moon and her ever present wonder never fails to astound me, even if what she shines on in that moment feels hard. Thank you for reading xx
Josie- your words so consistently move me that I admit my heart took a little leap when I saw your comment (I know that's probably drastically uncool to say but I am, sadly, drastically uncool 😆).
My heart hears your heart right back. If there's anyone that leads the way on the alchemy of beauty in challenging circumstances, it is you xx
PS. I'm very excited to get your new book, apparently she's on her way! 💛

Suze, I love you! I think Wahine of the Spoonbill Inlet might be my favourite thing anyone has ever called me. Thank you- you made me smile a big one xx
“The landscape, I am most generously reminded, exists because of these conditions, not in spite of them. I have no doubt that art making is the same.” There are so many thought provoking quotes to pull from this piece so I've bookmarked it to reread (many times as needed). Thank you so much, Jane, for making time in what is no doubt a difficult time to post something so profound. I'm sending you a big, comforting hug laced with gratitude!
oh my, (as usual) (and always amazing) , your drawings and words that articulate your being right now is JUST what I needed.... I will read and re-read and stare at your creativity/drawings and let that be what is... as it is for me too. ....Thank you and so much love
So evocative and so moving. My heart goes out to you. Sending love xx
Thank you Clare 💛 Sending love right back xx
