The Benedictions Archive

These blessings are written for quiet mornings, seasonal shifts, and the in-between places of your life. Each one began as a handwritten journal entry on a quiet morning in Richmond, Virginia, then became a visual reminder meant to be saved, shared, or kept close. This page gathers them all in one place, a growing library of gentle words for the days when you need something soft to hold onto.

Feel free to pin any blessing that speaks to you and return whenever you need a moment of stillness.

A Season of Stillness
A Season of Stillness

A reflection on the quiet season between holidays, where early winter in Virginia invites us to slow down, pay attention, and let creativity return. Snow days, bare trees, and the hush of the woods become reminders that rest is fertile ground. ❆ Includes three new benediction images to save or share.

After the Unveiling
After the Unveiling

There's a deep quiet that comes after sharing new work. For months, The Sanctuary Collection lived entirely within my studio and my imagination. Then it became something seen and held by others. One piece holds a memory I've been carrying for over thirty years - kayaking on Jordan Pond in Acadia for the first time, surrounded by mountains and stillness. ✨

The Making of The Sanctuary Collection
The Making of The Sanctuary Collection

Before The Sanctuary Collection leaves my studio and enters the world, I wanted to share what the making looks like from the inside: the quiet rhythm, the slow carving, the words that become texture in clay and paper. This collection began, as all my work does, with morning pages and blessings written before the day begins. From those words came the images: light on water, trees reflected in still ponds, shadows on kitchen walls. Each piece was shaped by hand and by heart, inviting rest and reflection into the everyday.
