Opening My Doors for the First Time

There's something profoundly transformative about opening a door for the first time—not just the physical act of turning a key, but the symbolic gesture of inviting the world into a space you've poured your heart into creating.

This weekend, I'm doing exactly that at Modernly Mindful's new storefront in Sundial Shopping Center, Carefree, Arizona.

A Journey Two Years in the Making

For two years, I've been crafting bronze sculptures and handcrafted jewelry in solitude, guided by a vision that art can be a pathway to healing and mindfulness. Each piece I've created has been an intimate conversation between my hands, natural Arizona elements, and the stories I've carried with me since childhood.

Now, it's time to share that conversation with you.

What Awaits Inside

When you step through our doors, you'll discover a gallery space that reflects the essence of Modernly Mindful—sophisticated, earthy, and deeply connected to the natural world around us.

Contemporary Bronze Sculptures ranging from 8" to 18", each one inspired by wisdom, nature, and the organic beauty of Arizona's landscape. These aren't mass-produced pieces; they're individually crafted through a meticulous process of 3D scanning, wax casting, and bronze finishing that takes nearly a month from vision to completion.

Handcrafted Jewelry featuring silver-plated hematite, 24k hematite, pearls, and .925 silver chain—each necklace, bracelet, and ring designed to bring a sense of calm and intention to your everyday life. These pieces incorporate natural Arizona jade, granite, quartzite, cactus wood, and hickory wood, connecting you to the earth beneath your feet.

More Than a Store

This space represents something deeper than commerce. It's a sanctuary for those seeking art that speaks to the soul, for collectors who understand that what we surround ourselves with shapes how we feel and who we become.

Every sculpture tells a story of transformation. Every piece of jewelry carries the energy of mindfulness and intention.

An Invitation

If you've been following this journey on social media, reading these posts, or simply feeling curious about what Modernly Mindful represents—this is your invitation.

Come see where creativity meets craftsmanship. Touch the cool bronze, feel the weight of natural stone, and experience art that was created not just to be beautiful, but to be meaningful.

Opening weekend starts now. The door is open. The art is waiting. And I can't wait to meet you.
