Moonrise Menagerie: A Year of Magic in the Making

Every year, I love to begin with intention, and this year, I’m setting that intention through art.

Let me introduce you to Moonrise Menagerie: a twelve-part collection unfolding month by month on Patreon in 2026. Each painting will be a gentle portal: a woodland scene that combines one animal, one flower, and a specific time of day. Together, they’ll tell a story of cycles, symbols, and quiet moments of connection.

If you’ve followed my work for a while, you know that I don’t just paint pictures I also channel messages.

Every year, I love to begin with intention and this year, I’m setting that intention through art.

If you’ve followed my work for a while, you know that I don’t just paint pictures, I also channel messages. These aren’t just animals or plants plucked at random. Every combination is intentional, and each one holds a message. I want every image to feel like the universe whispering something personal and timely to you. That’s the heart of this series:
✨ magic that meets you where you are.

Why “Moonrise Menagerie”?

I’m a lover of alliteration, and this phrase floated to me almost like a spell.
“Moonrise” felt right because it signals something rising gently, an ongoing story, a light that emerges through the dark, a rhythm we can feel but not control.
“Menagerie” brings the sense of a magical collection of beings. Each one holds mythic energy and presence. It feels alive.

What You’ll Find in Each Chapter

Each month in Moonrise Menagerie features:

A woodland-inspired scene
One animal guide
One seasonal or symbolic flower
A specific time of day (sunrise, moonrise, twilight, etc.)

Every combination is designed to:

Spark the imagination
Activate a sense of symbolic resonance
Remind you that the natural world is full of meaning

The themes are personal to me, but universal in spirit. This is a story you can find yourself inside of.

A Teaser for January: “Starlight Hour”

We begin our year in the far north, in the stillness of Alaska’s boreal forest. The first chapter takes place in Starlight Hour: that deep, quiet time when the sky turns its darkest blue and the stars feel closest.

There’s a special animal and flower that live in this place and I can’t wait to share them with my patrons first. You’ll see the full reveal there, along with a channeled note, a tiny palette card, and more behind-the-scenes peeks.

How to Join the Adventure

The first sticker and postcard mailers go out at the end of January.
If you join a mail tier before January 31, you’ll receive:

January’s original postcard print
A matching sticker
Access to WIPs, lore, swatch cards, and gentle surprises all year long

✨ Patreon is the only way to collect the full Moonrise Menagerie.
You’ll be able to see the full set grow month by month—culminating in a complete 12-part journey by the end of the year.

A Final Thought

More than anything, this collection is about remembering your inner world and reconnecting to nature’s quiet invitations. These aren’t just paintings. They’re conversations with your soul.

Whether you collect the series or simply follow along, I hope Moonrise Menagerie brings a bit more beauty, wonder, and intentionality to your year.

Why I Believe My Art Has a Soul Mission

Some art is made to impress. Some to provoke.
Mine is here to connect souls.

For years now, I’ve been aware that my art has a deeper purpose. Not every piece starts with a grand spiritual idea—in fact, many of them begin with a simple sketch, a playful moment, or a color I can’t stop thinking about. But time and time again, when a piece makes its way out into the world, I end up having an experience that reminds me: this art is a vessel for something much bigger than me.

Some art is made to impress. Some to provoke.
Mine is here to connect souls.

For years now, I’ve been aware that my art has a deeper purpose. Not every piece starts with a grand spiritual idea, in fact, many of them begin with a simple sketch, a playful moment, or a color I can’t stop thinking about. But time and time again, when a piece makes its way out into the world, I end up having an experience that reminds me: this art is a vessel for something much bigger than me.

One of the most vivid examples of this was back in 2013, when I released a collection called Oceana. Every painting in that collection carried a channeled message, hidden in a sealed envelope, meant only for the person who would one day own the piece. Those messages weren’t written with marketing in mind. They were direct transmissions from Source energy, and the people who received them were deeply moved. Some said they felt like soul family had spoken directly to them through the painting.

That’s when I really understood:
my art is a bridge between the physical and non-physical.
A portal for remembering. A tool for reawakening something sacred.

What My Art Is Really Here to Do

I believe the deeper mission of my art is to create connection between the viewer and their higher self, between this world and the unseen world, between us and the soul family we may not even know we’re missing.

Sometimes the pieces carry soothing energy.
Sometimes they spark contemplation.
Sometimes they feel like a transmission or a quiet download from beyond the veil.

Whatever the reaction, I hope people feel a sense of grounding, beauty, and divine presence through what I make. Even if I’m just painting a fox or an otter, my hope is that it acts like a tuning fork, helping the viewer shift into a slightly higher frequency.

I Am Not the Source of My Art—I Am the Channel

My process is deeply intuitive. I often feel like I’m just the brush being held by something greater. Characters arrive in dreams. Composition ideas download in meditation. Sometimes I even receive step-by-step tutorials in my dream state, and once, I asked my higher self to rewind and slow down the dream so I could follow along—and it worked.

This co-creative experience is something I trust implicitly now. Even when I don’t understand why I’m painting what I’m painting, I’ve come to learn that it always finds its right home, with the right message, for the right person.

What Others Reflect Back to Me

One of the most beautiful parts of sharing my art is hearing what people see or feel when they experience it. Sometimes they’ll tell me that the colors I used hold spiritual significance for them. Other times, they’ll tell me the piece reminded them of a dream they had or a loved one who passed.

That kind of resonance isn’t logical. It’s energetic.
It’s proof that art can hold frequency.

What Art Has Given Me

For me, art has always been a sacred self-regulating tool. When I make art, it feels like a brain massage and a way to soothe my nervous system, calm the inner critic, and reconnect with what matters most. It’s helped me process grief. It’s helped me feel joy when I thought I had forgotten how.

Art is where my spirit and body come back into alignment.

The Characters That Are Finding Me

Lately, I’ve been drawn to woodland animals as well cats, otters, swans and I know I’m on the edge of discovering a whole new mythical world through them. I don’t think I’m meant to draw creatures that already exist in mythology. I think I’m here to channel new ones. Creatures that feel ancient and familiar, but entirely my own.

That world is starting to populate in the background. I can feel it. It’s coming.

I Believe We Are All Creator Beings

We were made in the image of Source… not just physically, but energetically. That means we were born to create. Whether we make art, gardens, music, meals, or homes, we are vessels for divine expression.

When I remind myself that I am a channel, not the source, I relax. I let go of ego and fear. I open. And from that place, the most meaningful work flows through.
