WELCOME I’M GRATEFUL YOU’RE HERE.

Grief reshaped my life two years ago, drawing a hard line between who I was before and who I am now.

In that time, I often felt like I wasn’t doing anything to heal—just surviving days that asked too much. But when I looked back at the photos and poems I had quietly gathered, I realized I had been grieving actively, almost instinctively. grief simply needed somewhere to rest.

The Ponder Print House was born from that unintentional journey—the slow accumulation of images and words created in the solitude grief demands.

The making of my work became a way through the devastation of facing another day without my son. Each photograph, each line of writing, held a small piece of what felt impossible to speak aloud. This is my offering: the ache, the beauty, the fragments of hope that surfaced in places I didn’t expect.

These collections are shaped by loss, steadied by love, and created in the quiet truth that expression is survival—and sometimes, the only bridge between the life we had and the life we’re still trying to live.

So much of this work is me reaching toward Zack- finding him in the light that remains.
