Welcome to my process

Here, I write about

creating,

mothering,

grieving,

and the love that follows me

I'm anna

Mama to my treasures, widow to my first love, remarried to the sweetest man, artist, baby-catcher and women’s health NP.

But a lover (and one loved) first of all.  

In this view of life, I am a mother. (The weight and the privilege of this, I cannot put into words.) In this vein, I am a healthcare provider.  And from this passion, I create. 

I attempt to capture those instances/glimpses when a woman feels strong, yet vulnerable. When a child realizes that friendship can last longer than a lifetime. When the sun catches the forest on fire and your heart breaks for all the beauty... and on and on. 

I desire to meet in those moments that matter: a first heartbeat, an hour of exhaustion, a heartbreak. To be present. To see.
