What is your favorite type of art to create?

Poetry is my foundation, but what I truly create is experience. For a year, I curated weekly posts fusing original poetry with photography and music. Each one is a small world to step into. My work lives at the intersection of the mythic and the deeply personal, drawing on Norse mythology, tarot, grief, and love. I don't just want people to read my words. I want them to feel located by them, like something they couldn't name just got named.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in nature; the ocean, the moon, the way a shoreline holds every version of you that has ever stood there. And in the invisible frequencies beneath ordinary life that we all feel but rarely name. The pull toward something. The ache of recognition. The sense that we have been here before. I write from that place where the seen and unseen meet.

What would you do with $25,000?

$25,000 would fund the publication and launch of my full-length poetry manuscript, A Love Through the Realms, a collection seven years in the making. Remaining funds would seed the early infrastructure for Under the Moon, a metaphysical community space and event center designed to bring people back to ritual, connection, and each other. The art and the space are the same vision, one in words, one in the world.
