Still thinking about this essay I published in Miracle Monocle—raw, honest, and close to the bone. Writing it pushed me to places I didn’t expect, and I’m grateful it found a home here.

Thinking about the Japanese gardens that inspired MINATO SKETCHES today—spaces of quiet beauty, balance, and memory. So much of the novel grew out of these landscapes.

One of my biggest sources of inspiration while writing: the paintings of Emilie Demant Hatt.

Her work—intimate, atmospheric—has stayed with me for years. Here are a few of my favorites.
