The way the tide reaches up like it’s trying to remember me, and the sky... that hush of cloud and light that feels stitched by hand. Even the sand carries its own story, softened and scattered, like the ends of a prayer whispered through beach grass.
I call it “Where Solitude Blooms.”
Greetings
“Welcome to the meeting place of tide and light. Here, stories drift ashore—weathered, luminous, and always reaching toward the next wave.”
Exploring My Poetry
Softly, leaves fall
Slent on my heart
Wrapping me in gold
Hello and Welcome
I’m a writer, poet, and visual artist based on the New South Wales coast. My work explores the intersection of nature, memory, and emotional renewal—shaped by the sea’s rhythm and the quiet teachings of the land. Currently finalizing my debut memoir, I continue to create poems, essays, and artworks that invite reflection and connection.
