“It is the feeling I get from the image. The way I always know my way back home, regardles of how far I’ve wandered.”

RootWater Studio is a digital home for my creative practice. Launched in July 2026, I wanted a place to land the art I was making without feeling pressure to produce, filter, tone down, or make for the creator economy. This is a place to just touch grass and breathe.

Right now, everything here is free. Subscribing gives you full access and let's you join the conversation. Admission fees (tiers one and two) support the work and give members early access and paid access to Kitchen Table History.

RootWater Studio lives on Ghost, which has the same stance on Ai that I do and, as far as I've seen, the best opt-out options. But Ghost isn't free (the digital rent is about $30/month), so any support you want to give to keep this space open is welcome. Thank you!
