The Raven Academy
The Raven Academy is a community for curious minds, creative spirits, and people who believe self-expression is one of the most powerful tools for understanding ourselves. Here, we explore creativity, intuition, storytelling, dreams, symbolism, art, and the beautifully strange experience of being human.
No gurus. No perfection. No pressure to have it all figured out.
Just a gathering place for artists, seekers, writers, makers, and lifelong learners who want to create more, think deeper, and connect with others doing the same. Whether you're here to develop your intuition, rediscover your creativity, explore consciousness, or simply find people who ask the same questions you do, you're welcome here.
Come as you are. Bring your curiosity. It’s metaphysics over here.
By joining my Patreon
Writing a book can feel a little like building a strange world alone in a quiet room. Patreon is where I open the door and invite readers inside that space.
By joining, you’ll get access to early chapters, behind-the-scenes notes from my writing desk, exclusive audio books, and the messy, magical process of bringing stories to life before they ever reach the shelves.
Members also get a closer look at the worlds I’m building, from Norah Wolfe’s universe to future novels still taking shape. Think of it as a small creative studio where readers and storytellers gather around the same fire.
Your support helps me keep writing, dreaming up new worlds, and sharing them with the people who care about stories as much as I do.
Featured Book
liberation is a collection of raw, intimate poems that explore what it means to reclaim yourself after survival, heartbreak, identity shifts, and the quiet battles no one sees. moving between tenderness and fury, these pieces unravel the weight of past wounds, the complexity of human connection, and the slow, steady rise toward self-love. with a voice that is unfiltered and deeply human, liberation reflects on trauma, healing, motherhood, identity, and the fractured relationships that shape us. each poem holds a mirror to the parts of ourselves we're taught to hide, inviting readers to look inward and release what no longer belongs. this book is for anyone rebuilding themselves piece by piece, learning to trust their own voice, or standing at the edge of a new beginning. liberation is both a confession and a breakthrough-a testament to the strength it takes to survive, soften, and finally set yourself free.
newDance was my first language after art.
Long before I found my voice through writing, speaking, or storytelling, I found it through movement. Drawing taught me how to express what I saw. Dance taught me how to express what I felt. Music became the bridge between the two.
What began as a creative outlet grew into a lifelong love affair with performance, emotion, and human connection. Through dance, I learned how to tell stories without words, how to communicate grief, joy, resilience, and transformation through a movement art.
I spent all of my latter teen years and most of my twenties directing and co-directing music videos, performing in front of the camera, and helping bring artistic visions to life with this medium. Every project taught me something new about creativity, collaboration, and the courage it takes to be seen.
Dance shaped the artist I am today. It taught me how to trust intuition, embrace vulnerability, and step fully into expression. Every story I tell begins with the same lesson dance taught me years ago: Sometimes the body knows the truth long before the mind finds the words.
My art is part of the same language as my writing, readings, and creative work. It’s how I process emotion, tell stories without needing perfect words, and turn what I’ve lived through into something visible.
Tender, tired, and crowned anyway.
This original 14.5” x 14.5” painting is created on reclaimed cardboard, honoring impermanence, resilience, and making beauty out of what’s been handled, bent, and lived with. At the center sits a soft-eyed ruler wearing a paper crown, their expression heavy with knowing rather than dominance.
White currents move through the background like breath, smoke, or passing thoughts. A small golden key glows nearby, suggesting access, inheritance, or a truth entrusted only to those gentle enough to hold it. Stripes anchor the figure in humility, while the crown reminds us that authority does not require luxury, only presence.
The cardboard surface shows its history proudly. Creases, edges, and texture are not hidden but integrated, making this piece feel intimate, handmade, and quietly radical. It reads like a page torn from a myth written for survivors, caretakers, and soft-hearted leaders.
This artwork is for collectors who value soul over polish. For those who understand that power can look sleepy, strange, and sincere.

This is not a king of gold.
This is a keeper of doors.
This signed original depicts a dreamlike figure emerging from saturated teal and rose, her gaze dusted with gold as if lit from within. Painted on a 10x10” wooden round using spray paint and acrylic, the surface glows with layered color, soft gradients, and deliberate mark-making that rewards close attention.
Her eyes shimmer with starlike flecks, suggesting intuition, longing, and an inner universe just beneath the surface. Flowing pink forms frame her face like drifting thoughts or whispered memories, while the circular format gives the piece a sense of continuity and timelessness. There are no edges here, only orbit.
Both intimate and iconic, this work bridges street-art confidence with tender surrealism. It invites the viewer to linger, to feel, to recognize something familiar yet unreachable. Signed by the artist, this one-of-a-kind piece is ideal for collectors drawn to emotionally resonant portraiture and bold contemporary color.
This sculpted face is both vessel and ritual. Hand-built from clay, layered with spray paint and acrylic, and finished with gold accents that trace her fractures like constellations, she honors what breaks and keeps glowing anyway.
Her interior opens into a painted cosmic world, turning this piece into a functional container. The cigarette at her mouth doubles as an incense holder, allowing smoke to rise slowly from her lips. A moment of release, contemplation, or quiet rebellion.
This work balances grit and grace. The softness of color meets the honesty of form. Cracks are not hidden. They’re illuminated. Meant to be seen, touched, and used.
A statement piece for altars, shelves, or sacred corners. Equal parts art object and functional ritual tool.
