She involves herself where the mystic meets material. Bringing ether down to Earth.Raised by wolves, muddy water & pine trees, Heather comes from big river Mississippi. Grandmother encouraged her to write,
so she did.
Her storytelling is led by the behind scenes visionary spaces of her work and lineage wisdom.Preservation, justice and re-enchantment being her core values.
Synthesizing this with her experience in graphic design births Petite Press. Voice meeting skill acting as host to story and truth.
Her participation in Saga writers has been pivotal in her evolution & coming out as a mystic and poet. She is most inspired by imagination journeying - inspired by Padraig the poet, Saga writing spaces as well as shamanic trance involving drum meditation and dancing.
About Petite Press-
This is a woman-owned initiative here to uplift and operate outside of the main stream. This press carves it’s own current. And welcomes you into the river of this new way of operating.
This is a space created by a sovereign artist with independence, resource & freedom at the core.
May the gates me removed on your story.
Join PP in the realms of slow yet timely, intentional creation. Here to embrace the middle-way. Here to usher & hold space during the process, because corporate hands have no business on the poets or artists path. Do you believe we can take the artist’s path back?
One way to do what you can where you are, is to do what you can where you are. PP encourages localism and supports independent publishers and creators of all kinds.
Roots-
Pulling on the roots of the original printing press. The power of pressing ink on paper. Spreading word. The power of the press producing more than one copy. The power of the press being a tool for the hosting voice. An amplifier of voice. Now we have printing machines and the nature of ‘press’ has transformed. Now being more ‘media’ focused, advertising focused, politically focused. Where original press was more religiously focused at first. The nature of the process made it more reverent and exclusive in nature. Yet also more controlled. Comparing that to todays industry there are some comparisons on censorship.
Yet when we rewind a LOT..way before we got to printing machines, there were many ways we recorded word & story. From earth pigments and earth walls to carvings in stone tablets. To tell others something. To adorn. To honor. To mark. It was more necessary and ceremonial in nature.
Press now is often overshadowed and saturated by the polluted waters of the main streams. Yet reclaimed through the clear channels of the springs of the people’s voice, uninfluenced. Now print is more accessible.
If we fast forward a bit after the press. Then, there is the sovereign nature of not needing much energy or resource to produce something that can last forever. A simple but mighty force that is a typewriter. Metal, ink & paper. Yet only one copy each time. One of a kind. Brillant. Accessible.
To also mention, the beauty of color pigment ink on linoleum block or wood carving. Or sea shell pressed wax seal. There’s power in the press. SEALED. To proclaim something in ink. To set it in stone. To print it on paper. To say it out loud…… ! Carrying it’s own energetic mark on life. Yet if not recorded. Oral storytelling or spoken word transmissions are more unique in there intimate delivery nature, that needs the human vessel to deliver and won’t spread through print or paper. The highest form of sharing!
And like many wise sayings touch on, the paradox of petite.
The potent nature of a petite vessel. The huge
potential of the seed. A small but mighty force - a soft voice in a loud room. The little resourced artist with a big dream. That just needs a little support & encouraging.
