Rooted in the heart of my ancestral history, Caithness, Halkirk, Scotland, where my forebears once lived, is a tapestry of rugged cliffs and vibrant rainbows. This evocative landscape serves as a timeless muse, infusing each creation of Coelum Non Solum with the essence of my heritage and the boundless beauty of my lineage.
"Cœlum Non Solum”, inspired by the ancestral wisdom encapsulated in the motto of my Scottish heritage, translates to a profound ethos: 'Heaven, not Earth.' Through a fusion of vintage, heirloom, and recycled materials, each piece becomes a testament to sustainability and zero-waste craftsmanship. Guided by intuition and synchronicity, I curate antique textiles favoring natural fabrics like linen, cotton, and cashmere, infusing them with unexpected prints and playful elements. Every creation is a bridge between worlds, inviting wearers to explore the mystical realms of imagination while celebrating earthly beauty.
Based in the heart of Minnesota, Cœlum non Solum emerged from my dedication to craftsmanship and personal experiences with the spirit realm and entertaining the mysteries of the Great Beyond. All of my creations arrive from that liminal place, somewhere between meditation and dreaming and are brought to life in the spirit of experimentation and play.
With each garment, I invite you to embrace the enchantment of imagination and the beauty of conscious creation. Cœlum non Solum mission is to awaken a sense of wonder and connection to the divine, nurturing the inner magic and boundless creativity within us all.
This cherished heirloom, an old hanger from my great-great-great grandfather's clothier, symbolizes the rich legacy of craftsmanship and design that flows through my veins. Proudly continuing the tradition, I use it to hang my garments, honoring the generations of clothiers, seamstresses, and designers who came before me.
