A commission to make a soap bar design Inspired by late-night slasher movies and questionable decisions made after dark, this bar leaves no dirt survivor behind. One minute you’re rinsing off, the next you’re screaming with delight. Wash alone. Lock the door. And whatever you do… don’t drop the soap!

This tree drawing was started a couple years ago at a moment when life was “fine.” Not good, not great. Just surviving, searching, healing, rebuilding. Life can be so beautiful, yet so so hard at times. I hope everyone is feeling the warmth of life, and if you are not at the moment know that with some patience, reflection, and hard work exhilarating surprises lie beyond the horizon.

Happy holidays - PEACE
