A Passion to create

A Visionary's Dream...........

Ever since I was a child I have always loved creating things and working with my hands. I started cooking at about the age of 12....and from there on, my love of aroma started to develop.   Through the years,  my senses expanded and became engaged in art, poetry, dance, and music......my spirit was engaging on many different levels that all started at a very young age.   I have found that through the process of engaging ones senses in the arts and through the process of creating, that we engage with something higher in ourselves and beyond ourselves.  We create new realities and realize new potentials and create new dreams.   We really do have the power to transform our lives through positive forces.  Years later, it was through the process of passing through some traumatic events that I realized I could start anew......and part of this process has been engaging my senses back to the power of aroma.   I realized it created new energies and connected my mind to places in my spirit that restored hope, brought calm or filled me with inspiration.  It's hard to believe aromas have this power but they do.   Aroma connects us to our limbic system......a powerful place in our brain which engages us with the memory of things that we love or know as our own set of truths.  Things that make us feel good or put us at ease.  And it is from this feeling of connection, that we are uplifted and sometimes even energized or hopeful and feel like we can go on................

All of the fragrances I create are created with intent and purpose and to capture a feeling.   I have tried to convey the essence of either a place or a moment with all of my fragrances....it could even be the sunlight coming through the window on a spring day mixed with an array of green buds outside that inspire me to make something new.   Whatever I am making, and the moment that inspires it,  it is BEAUTY that I am trying to capture, and it's essence that I am trying to share. I truly hope that my fragrances inspire in a realm beyond myself.
