Attended a San Francisco Cacophony Society event where I first experienced Absinthe, igniting my lifelong passion for the Green Fairy.  I began crafting small batches of Absinthe experimenting with vintage recipes & herb blends despite the U.S. prohibition & using my art history textbooks from college to learn more about Absinthe.

With the ban lifted, I seized the opportunity to turn my passion into a legitimate business.

Released the Blanche, the first of four award-winning Absinthes, bringing my dream to a wider audience.

After helping build the company as a partner, I acquired full ownership of its non-alcoholic craft mixer line, bringing Fairy Dust, Caged Heat, Crimson Smoke, & Cherry Bomb into the Absinthia portfolio. Fairy Dust was created for clients who love the flavor of Absinthe but choose not to consume alcohol.

I planned a trip to New York City to meet with my distributors during the week the Metropolitan Museum of Art opened the Manet/Degas Exhibit. I visited on a rainy Thursday, September 28th. I spent hours exploring the exhibition, spending most of my time standing before their Absinthe paintings. Eventually, I wandered to the bookstore. That's when it hit me. I had always known I had a book in me. At that moment in the Met's bookstore, I understood the arc.  Absinthe was never only a drink. She became a surface onto which society projected its fears, desires, prejudices, and aspirations. At different moments she served as muse, scapegoat, symbol, and spectacle. The Green Fairy's Canvas examines how culture manufactures fear, how myth overtakes fact, how women are erased, & how art preserves what power tries to suppress.

Absinthe is the medium.  
The canvas is larger.

Debuted Green Fairy Tales, a podcast exploring the rich history, cultural impact, and modern revival of absinthe.

Upcoming book release, blending art history and absinthe’s cultural impact, solidifying my role as an authority in the space.
