Nature’s Remedies

roads that teach me

with

dripping juicy berries lining the paths

springs breaking through the earth to give us all a drink

ancient nettle protecting the river and creeks

seasonal sounds, the symphony of the mountains

all contributing to the harmonious habitat

when I take from the land, I give something back

a prayer, a song, a private homage

for the the pharmacy withstanding time

and its resilient, powerful medicine

should not be taken lightly

should not be taken without a mindful recognition

that the wisdom of our grandmothers

still echoes through leaves and roots.

herbaceous healing

local wellness

rich culture and narrative I strive to hear

with every walk through your woods

dip in the water

and sparkly starry evening

as long as I have the chance

A New Chapter

Here I am, turning a page into a chapter with themes of fearless and unbound ambition. I have been ready for a while. Ready to unleash my fullest creative potential and ready to live a life that looks a little bit different than what society deems successful. This is all so exciting to me, and I am grateful to have made it to this part of my story.

For the last few years, actually, for most of my life, I have had ideas and inspirations for an alternative lifestyle simmering and stewing in the back of my mind. Simultaneously, I’ve been honing in my grasp on watercolor/color theory. Now is the time to put into play these concepts and philosophies.

Gumption Watercolors is my brain child propelling me here. It’s a blend of all that is fulfilling to me: an outlet to share my own unique creations, an opportunity to create wholesome community, a way to guide people to a holistic way of healing pain and suffering
