the alchemy of art and sound

My personal artwork can be seen and purchased from Little Fish Gallery and Gift at 72 Main Street, just two doors down from the studio.

Yesterday I had so much fun at with the Artists Way Art group that I forgot to take pictures for most of the workshop! I guess I am following my own advice and staying in the moment. Such a great group of artists….this group has been meeting together for 20 years. I was truly honored to be invited. We started our time together with a gong centered guided meditation to help calm and focus our minds. Then step by step I led the group through creating the Tree of Life. I’m pretty sure everyone achieved that blissful state of flow….one participant said…”Do I really have to leave!?” I’m currently booking March and beyond. Spring is a great time to start reevaluate, adjust your trajectory and try something new! Reach out if you would like to offer an art and sound session at your place of business or community center or art group.

Behind the scenes of a family business! Yesterday the girls had the house to ourselves. Harper helped me put art kits together then she has been exploring Procreate on my iPad. Juno was enjoying her Christmas pickle while I had a little dance party because I was so happy to have such a large class.
When you book a class, buy a painting, book a session, so much loving care goes into what you experience or have purchased. Most of the time our entire family has been involved in one way or another. Alex and the kids give feedback on everything from paintings to sound sessions, they haul equipment, and test ideas that I have out.
Most small businesses have a hardworking family behind them, please remember to support us, things are going to be challenging for the little guys over the next few years. We truly do a little happy dance every-time we make a sale! If you aren’t in the position of buying art or going to a class, liking and sharing posts is free and so helpful as the algorithm change constantly, and honestly I would rather be practicing the gongs or making art than figuring that out. I am so grateful for you all! Thank you for the continued support! This little venture will be six years old the April!

Getting art kits and instruments ready for tomorrow’s Tree of Life workshop at the Unitarian Church in Hartford. Looking forward to helping this group plant seeds of hope and inspiration for 2025!

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been up before the sun! Kids are back in school today, I’ve got a to-do list a mile long….but first tasty hot coffee out of one of my favorite mugs, then a little yoga to ease into my day.

I just need a few more little things to complete the sitting area in the studio. I love the is cozy corner, perfect for when clients come for private sound sessions or another option for group sessions if you don’t want to sit in the gravity chairs. Can’t wait for you to try them out!

I have really enjoyed my time off over the holidays AND I’m very excited to be playing tonight in Ashford for the annual Tranquility Zone! Cheers to 2025!!

Happy New Year!
This has been an epic year for me personally and professionally. I am grateful for the blessings and the lessons! In 2024 my word of the year was JOY.
Joy showed up in many ways this year, meeting new friends from across the globe, Gong Camp, learning that I am speaking at the CT Library Association Conference in April. Discovering how the land on our new property morphs with the seasons and what gifts those changes offer. Joy came in quiet ways too, listening to Cormac talk with such passion about Einstein's life and work. The look on Quincy's face when he learned he qualified for his first bowling tournament. Cuddling on the couch on Saturday mornings with Harper while we color and watch our favorite Youtuber. Stunning sunrises from our porch. Being able to go into the next room and get a hug from Alex after years of him working far away. I know I didn't catch every glimmer in the chaotic buzz of raising a family and running a business, but I certainly was more present than in past years.
This year's word is a little different. It's not something to be on the lookout for, but instead a reminder.....PERSPECTIVE.
I had been thinking and meditating on what 2025's word will be, then a few days ago, I took a walk between the rainstorms and came upon this puddle. It had a super clear reflection and I thought it would make a cool photo...if it wasn't reflecting the power lines. As I approached the puddle the reflection changed, and a beautiful tree line appeared. Then it hit me, 2025 is going to be all about perspective for me. What lens am I looking at the world through? Yes, this is what is happening in the present moment, it won't change, but my perspective can!
I am so grateful for all your support, I can't wait to see what we manifest in creative community this year!
Wishing you a beautiful New Year filled with abundance, grace and PERSPECTIVE!

Cleaning the workspace up today….right after I get back from the gym!

Books I’m hoping will qualify as business expenses…

I slept until 8:45 this morning!!! Hoping you all have some time to rest and reset over the next few days.

Excited to be guiding the Artist’s Way group from the Hartford Unitarian Society through the Tree of Life workshop. I got to tour the building last week and it’s stunning! Just added to the national historic register. Honoring faiths from around the world, a place where kindness and diversity are celebrated. I can’t wait to gather in creative community with this group.

Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate!!!

12/24/2024

Merry happy everything!! The last few days have been a bit rough…sick family, frozen pipes…🤢🥶.
But it’s looking like we are in the clear! I am very excited to spend the next few days with my family! This is the first Christmas we are celebrating in the new house and it really does feel magical! I’m wondering how Christmas was celebrated when the Tavern was open. Christmas trees weren’t even popular in the US until the 1830s…65 years after the house was built! Last night Alex was joking that George Washington probably said you know what that s tavern needs???? A huge gong to accompany my meal!
As I’m writing this a gentle snow is falling. It’s been a very long time since we’ve had snow on Christmas and I’m very thankful.

Happy snowy solstice!!! It only gets brighter from here friends. Wishing you a cozy day full of all the things that fill your heart with light!

Friday Night Practice

Practiced some mutes and drumming with my gongs last night for a bit. Last time I posted my playing, Facebook pulled it down saying I was using other people’s music and I had to share the revenue generated with it!! What revenue? 🤣 I never monetize my posts, and I was clearly playing myself. So…I’m going to give it another try. #letitripple #friyay #practicemakesprogress #gongs

Good morning!!! Here is a short breathing and drawing technique that you may find helpful. Feel free to share. Please reach out with any questions you may have. Have a wonderful day! 💚 #alchemyofartandsound #quietcornerct #breathwork #earlymorning #morningvibes #crazyhair #keepingitreal

Water Sessions

“The sound of water can reduce anxiety, produce a sense of pleasure, reduce heart rate, and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system” (Franco 2017;McDougal 2021). Are you drawn to water? Sit back and listen the the soothing drips and dribbles and visualize the water carrying your worries away. During a Water Session, I blend the low rumble of gongs and the powerful crash of the ocean drum with the delicate drops of water to create a personalized meditative soundscape. #soundbath #privatesession #soundpractitioner #greentara #water #waterheals
