Peace on Earth
“Until we disarm our hearts,
the war will never stop.”
Author Unknown
I have walked down many steps
into rooms where their harnesses
hung, motionless and deeply stained.
What I have seen I cannot unsee.
I will not forget these memorials
to slow torture, nor listen to all the
repeating lies honoring our young
soldiers marketing their righteous
death. Each of us has seen the
continuing diaspora and still hear
voices that were lost, taken
for their dignity and uncommon
sense. Remembering, let us now
welcome all the ancient fears,
awakening to the enduring call
to heal and abandon hate.
As this is done, days will come
when we shall no longer run
from the roots of war, turning away
from what will always be true:
We can open our eyes and see.
Have you dreamed of seeing a splash of color or a beautiful image on your building, fence, barn, or even chicken coop? Would you like to make a special space in your home or business stand out with a unique wall mural? Maybe you’d like to transform your kitchen cabinets or a vanity with a hand-painted design? Or maybe you have something else in mind? I’d love to help you bring your ideas to life!
Contact me to discuss your vision or just to learn more about the process – initial consultations are free.

About the artist: Hi, my name is Rachel and I’m an artist based in Tillamook, OR. I love working on creative projects of all kinds. When it comes to painting, I particularly enjoy the process of embellishing an existing surface – whether a building, wall, door or piece of furniture. I find that adding art to the spaces we inhabit and the objects we use every day can make us feel more at home, reinforce our sense of place, identity, and belonging, bring a smile to our faces, lift the spirits, and inspire us. Whatever art does for you, I would love to help you experience that more in your day-to-day life.
But what will it cost?
Typically projects will fall in the range of $15-$20/sqft, however the rate can depend on a number of factors, including design complexity, location, and scale; whether I need to use a ladder or scaffolding, and the extent of surface preparation required. I will determine the proposed rate after an initial consultation on your project.
It has a steel frame and is very sturdy and comfortable
You’ll have to move and transport it … I can’t help you, sorry. You’ll need at least a couple of really strong people because this thing is HEAVY.
$200.00 please

Creative and reflective journaling isn’t just for “writers.” This is for everyone. The simple act of writing helps unlock parts of the subconscious, and is an incredible tool for healing and growth.
Celebrate the solstice by going inward with me. As we approach the longest night of the year, we’ll gather in a cozy space with blankets, candles, tea, and snacks. Together, we’ll move through exercises to help you tap into your inner world and cultivate a personal writing practice.
We can’t wait to see you there!
