Welcome!

I am an Expressive Arts Therapist. My goal is to help others heal and grow through the arts, senses and imagination!

Jewelry

I make hand woven beaded jewelry. Visit my Etsy Shop!

Food

I love exploring and sharing the ART of cooking, serving and eating delicious and nutritious plant based food!

Hobo was a lover, a cruiser, and a brawler, one in a zillion. Tuuli is a sweet-hearted, playful little garden sprite. He's been trying to engage with this squirrel for weeks and I think he's making progress! #tuulithebabykittykat

Camouflage #tuulithebabykittykat

I miss him terribly. My heart hurts today. He was a magnificent, wonderful, magical being stolen from this earth a decade before his time. #hobiethehobocat

He took to the indoor treehouse like a fish to water. I love him, he's the best! An absolute treasure of a creature. #tuulithebabykittykat

We built Tuuli a thing to play, sleep and dine on! Functional sculpture made from avocado & pine logs as well as aged pallets and planks. The hammock up top is a discarded stained glass frame (remember the window I made too small?) and my old leopard print Betsy Johnson sheets from college. He is afraid but we will win him over using food. Bwahahaha! @dinggger was the primary artist on this project, I was the head assistant.

Stained glass windows at the top of a staircase. Each window is 2 by 5 feet. Thank you to my beloved @dinggger for installing them. #kirstingreenart

Recently took a quiet, unplugged visit to the pacific northwest. Here is my ode to this magical place. #kirstingreenart

My big stained glass commission is ready to install! Four windows. #kirstingreenart

Tuuli makes a friend ❤️ #tuulithebabykittykat

A magical morning moment in the with #tuulithebabykittykat ❤️

Yep, I'm completely smitten with this cute, dorky, sweet little goofball. He has healing powers! He snuggles, follows me around like a doggie, comes running when I call him, and clearly loves us and wants to be loved by us. #tuulithebabykittykat

Dinner was delicious tonight. Homegrown spaghetti squash with tomato and shallot confits, several cheeses, roasted asparagus with garlic and lemon, garden salad and crusty bread. Decadent and fresh!

My blind-contour self-portrait took an interesting turn once I started coloring it in. Ha! #kirstingreenart

Tuuli goes camping! #tuulithebabykittykat

Tuuli drinking from the unicorn pond just like our Hobo used to do. My heart aches deeply, and I miss him something fierce. I'm glad some of his most endearing habits wore off on the little guy, it keeps his memory alive! #tuulithebabykittykat

Grateful for this baby. He stepped into his new role (only cat, healer cat) with ease. He is wonderful! #tuulithebabykittykat

When Nana Mensah was sick, and after he passed, I listened to the song "by this river" by Brian Eno over and over. Now, when I hear that quiet song, it wraps me in tender memories and gentle loving misery. With Hobo, it is an entire album: "Ghosteen" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. I feel seen and heard by this haunting record, which was written and recorded after he had lost his teenage son. I will forever and always link Hobie's last weeks with this beautiful collection. #ghosteen #bythisriver #mourningmusic

Hobo passed away about an hour ago, on his own. True to his nature he did it on his terms. I have never known a smarter, cooler, more independent and groovy cat in my life. He was more of a person than an animal to me and I know that he touched a lot of people deep in their core with his infectious personality. Thank you all for allowing me to grieve in this forum. It gave me strength and made me feel connected to you, to a community of people who love and care. This photo was taken moments before he took his last breath. #hobiethetripawdcat #hobiethehobocat
