I'M

Hi There,

Nice to meet you! I'm based in San Diego, California. I love writing, photography, traveling, & this wild experience called life. I founded Astreya, a fine art gallery & creative studio where art, sound, and writing invite a slower way of living in a modern world built for speed.

 spotlight: Astreya

Astreya is a fine art gallery + creative studio exploring art, sound, and the written word as pathways to emotion, presence, and connection. In a modern world built for production, efficiency, and speed, Astreya offers a clear alternative: human-made art and objects for slower ways of being. At its heart is the studio space (coming soon), where people gather intimately to remember what it means to feel, to witness, and to breathe.

for slower ways of being

Mindful Monday arrives each week from the Astreya studio as an invitation to pause. Through words shaped by art and attention, it invites you to notice what’s often overlooked: light on a wall, breath in the body, and the felt texture of being here. A small counterpoint to a culture built for speed, here we practice the art of slowing down. Click the button to receive this weekly study in stillness.
