Anima Press—my print and publishing imprint—is named for the soul, the animating life force that moves through all things. It is both a creative practice and a devotional one, holding space for digital works, fine art prints, small publications, and exhibitions that center legacy, remembrance, and the quiet, necessary search for beauty within grief. Through image, design, and language, Anima Press seeks to honor presence—what remains, what endures, and what continues to speak even in absence.

The logo is drawn from something deeply personal: a necklace Geordie gave me, the one piece of jewelry I never remove. It is an ancient gold coin set with three small diamonds, accompanied by a description of its symbolism. On the front, two angels come together for a shared purpose—a meeting that feels both earthly and divine. On the reverse, hidden from view, is a single angel—known only to the wearer—resting against my heart.

 

That unseen presence has come to symbolize so much of what I hold: love that continues beyond form, quiet companionship, and the intimate, often invisible nature of grief itself.
