Words about the piece from the talented artist herself ~
We all have moments in life where we need community and I’ve been witness and a part of a beautiful community of people on a fairly daily basis. We meet down at the water and collectively do life together, rubbing shoulders and laughing and supporting each other. We all have challenges in life and friendships make life easier. I’ve been watching a beautiful woman being supported by her close friends and the way that they are uplifting protecting and encouraging her honestly is what we all need to see. It’s loving and caring for each other and it just restores my faith in humanity. We aren’t meant to live in solitude.
The fins on this piece represent a circle of friends surrounding the body of the vessel and the physical body of the friend facing a difficult challenge. The way that they’re connected and united is like a beautiful circle of strength . It’s holds power and safety to be raw and real.
The glaze is a reflection of the environment. Sand, sea and foam, a daily ritual of immersion. Letting go and finding peace for the soul.
A smidge - o late, but had this sitting in my draft as we welcomed in the NY.
2025 you changed me and it wasn’t all so bad.
This year challenged me in ways I could never imagine.
It stretched me, broke me open, reshaped me.
It challenged our fam bam, our friendships, our rhythm, our normal.
There were days I felt like I completely disappeared inside the darkness of it all.
Throughout every hard moment, there was also love.
There was growth. There was perspective. There was a constant quiet reminder of what truly matters.
2025 taught me to see life differently.
To notice the small magic that is everywhere.
The ordinary moments that are actually everything.
The laughter in the chaos, the beauty in simply being here.
I am so grateful for our beautiful support around us who showed up, wrapped their arms around our family, held space and reminded me I am not alone. YOU are a serious form of magic, and I appreciate you beyond words.
2026 I’m ready to soak up all the magic. LETS GO 💪
Still lost for words.
It was just such a magic morning. I feel so lucky to be surrounded with so much love.
I try to stay positive, but some days are just hardddd and can feel very lonely. What a beautiful reminder I am never alone - YOU ARE ALL AMAZING AND I HAVE SO MUCH LOVE FOR YOU ALL!
People really do help people. And I’ll never forget it 😭🥰
A "Happy Hour" we won't forget anytime soon ✨
A ritual we wanted to honour for teags, her daily morning walks and ocean swim became so much bigger.
A morning to stand beside her and remind her she's not alone
A powerful reflection of our community. Because this community shows up like NO other.
A fundraiser to show deep support + unity
A heart of gold + courageous friend
Thankyou to every single person invloved
We love you teags 🧡💜

I was a little hesitant to post this, because this kind of attention makes me want to scramble like a mouse… but, I’m being a big girl and leaning into the beautiful support we’ve been receiving and feeling grateful beyond words!!

Solace in the Storm.
I walked into the wild sea,
head tangled, heart heavy,
an unexplained darkness clinging to my skin.
Each wave pulled the heaviness from my chest,
leaving beautiful moments of stillness and clarity.
Something greater than me was preparing me for a storm I could not yet see,
for the strength I would need,
for friendships that would hold me steady.
A powerful energy drew me forward,
teaching me to step into the ocean,
to trust its force,
and to know that even in the loudest storms,
solace waits ~ beneath the roar
Thank you @megan_mcinerney_art for this amazing painting, for capturing me stroll out on this particular morning so perfectly. I’m glad we met in the waves.
Thank you to the girls who surprised me by purchasing this painting while I was in hosi. It’s was such a beautiful surprise and a gift that has so much meaning. I love you all so much!
