That time one October when a solo witch paddle on Stony Brook Harbor caught the attention of a stranger with a camera. An unexpected collection of photographs, a little autumn magic, and a crescent-shaped relic inspired by the season.

Every October, the paddleboard takes on a different personality. A reflection on SUP witch paddles, seasonal rituals, and the inspiration that eventually found its way into a little piece of artwork.

A quiet extension of the studio — where field notes, shoreline light, and handcrafted silver come together in motion.

Our family has been visiting the Holtsville Ecology Site for 19 years — from weekend walks and playground stops to recent class trips. With the town announcing its closure, I wanted to share a small memory and a short video from two years ago that captures a piece of what made it special. 🌿
