Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Lauren (she/her).
I am an artist, educator, and lifelong student of the natural world. My work is deeply informed by my Sicilian, Turkish, and Irish heritage, as well as a love for botanical and osteological preservation, natural history, and traditional folk practices.
I was raised with an appreciation for the stories, customs, and wisdom carried through generations, and my personal practice continues to explore the relationship between land, ancestry, seasonal rhythms, plants, and symbolism. These influences shape both my creative work and the way I approach tarot and oracle reading.
I work with clients from a wide variety of cultural, spiritual, religious, and secular backgrounds. I am proud to serve and support LGBTQIA+ individuals and communities, and I strive to create a welcoming space where people can explore spirituality, creativity, and personal meaning without judgment.
When I’m not creating art, reading cards, or collecting inspiration from the natural world, you can often find me vending at markets and festivals throughout the Midwest, connecting with fellow artists, gardeners, collectors, and curious souls. My work can also be found in select shops throughout the Chicago area.
Thank you for being here. It is a privilege to share this work and connect with others through art, tradition, and a shared reverence for the natural world.
