We are all students and teachers, constantly learning from one another, our environment, and ourselves. In this academic dance, lessons cultivate until the song ends, and the time comes to find a new partner. But what happens when the lessons become painful, when we fail, and self-doubt sets in?
Adapted from the Japanese martial arts concept, Shuhari takes you on a spiritual journey from learning to mastery through a poetic dialogue between teacher and student. This conversation about life, loss, and our deepest fears illustrates how learning from one another helps to better understand ourselves in facing life’s challenges.

Life is a series of sketches coming together to create a story. These often-messy drafts make up our lives and shape our identities. But we are all part of this larger, ongoing illustration—a portrait we are often blind to.
A colorful collection of lines that make up words, Color Sketches expresses the many shades of ourselves.

Writing is the fostering of ideas—shaping thoughts into words and molding them into statements of expression. Yet ideas wither, thoughts fade, and words get lost. As we manifest our concepts through language, we struggle to convey emotional truth.
These poems are words meant to nurture shared feelings—notions of love, longing, and loss. An adoption of letters, lyrics, and lines, Foster Poems is a book of lost words that might foster those who find them.

Giulia Vitale was the prima donna of the opera, A Love Unrequited. When the diva fell in love on the eve of Epiphany, life imitated the art of unrequited love. Enamored of the voice of another, she forgot the sound of her own. The one that serenaded her also betrayed her; sabotaging Giulia’s career and closing the opera. Hiding from her shame, she wandered from lover to lover, life to life, masquerading in the guise of others. Eventually, she became her mask, and her face fell into shadow… until her descendant, Gwendolyn Faye, would take her place on the stage.
Haunted by the legacy of her lineage, Gwen struggles to match her grandmother’s resonance. She finds solace from this familial burden in the arms of the mysterious Isaac Sylvain. Reminded of her ancestor’s failed romance, she resists his charms to focus on her impending debut. But Isaac is not so easily swayed. Though Gwen does not reciprocate Isaac’s love, she cannot ignore his influence, which threatens to derail the opera. Like Giulia before her, Gwen must rise to the occasion and reclaim her ancestral voice, or fall victim to A Love Unrequited.
