I spend a lot of time in nature — especially near and in the water, playing in cold mountain streams. It grounds me, centers me, and helps keep me sane in this busy world.

The Zen Journal is where I share some of what I find there, along with anecdotes from the studio, creative process, materials with stories, thoughts about conservation, and glimpses of life and work in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Here, written reflections and one-minute Appalachian Moments of Zen come together as an invitation to pause, look closely, and reconnect with the natural world.
