Our studio
Colibrí (Hummingbird) Soul
We are now located on the beautiful Kitsap Peninsula and look forward to getting to know our community here in Burley Washington (South Port Orchard). We also want to acknowledge that the land our home studio is on is the ancestral homeland of Coast Salish people and has been since time immemorial. We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.
