As a trained Death Midwife and Ordained Minister I have officiated  home funerals and body honoring ceremonies where burial shrouds were used as the final embrace of the Beloved dead. 

I became inspired to do more and began creating hand-crafted and painted shrouds and burial blankets that guarantee impermanence by using all natural and biodegradable products.  

​

Additionally, I partner with Indiana Death Doula Lauren Richwine, Death Done Differently, and produce The Shroud Doll.

The creative process, which begins with a spark of inspiration, changes me. The Beauty of impermanence seeps into my bones and I realize how challenging it can be to release our attachment to what we create - which is deeply connected to how we see ourselves and how we want to be remembered. That in itself is a definition of death work.

I have a long history of contemplating the importance of what and how I create. In my video Imagining Beauty, I reflect, "Will what I create matter? When I bring that which flows from my imagination into form, will it improve the world, touch a life, or inspire others?" I answer my questions by saying yes, it matters deeply. In my capacity to create a form that becomes completely formless and unseen, I make the world better, touch lives, and hopefully, inspire others.
