Support for grief, remembrance, and end-of-life moments—through art, story, and steady care.

MavenHaven offers grief-informed, non-clinical support for people moving through loss, transition, and end-of-life experiences. My work is especially rooted in care for queer, trans, BIPOC, and allied folks, as well as caregivers and families who want support that feels more personal, human, and consent-based.

Every offering begins with a free 15–30 minute consultation. We’ll talk about what’s happening, what you want to honor, and which kind of support fits best.

This work is not therapy or medical care. It is creative, relational, grief-informed support designed to help you hold memory, meaning, and care in a tangible way.

Collaborative Legacy & Memorial Art Projects

A guided, story-centered process for creating a legacy or memorial piece that feels emotionally true to the person, relationship, or season being honored.

This is the heart of MavenHaven.
We work together to shape the piece through conversation, memory, symbolism, feeling, and intention. I help translate what may be hard to put into words into something visual and lasting.

Best for:

People saying:

“I want it to feel like them.”
“I have the story, but I don’t know how to turn it into art.”
“I want something more personal than a standard commission.”

This may include:

memory gathering and story-based consultation
symbolic development and concept shaping
collaborative memorial or legacy artwork
altar, remembrance, or display-oriented pieces
space for grief, reflection, and emotional pacing throughout the process

You’ll receive:

a custom art piece created through a more collaborative process
a clearer sense of what you’re trying to honor
a process that feels held, intentional, and not rushed

End-of-Life Retainer (Care + Creation)

A longer-term support container for individuals or families actively moving through an end-of-life chapter.

This offering combines grounded doula-style support with collaborative legacy creation. It is designed for people who need steadier presence over time—not just a finished piece, but support through the process of preparing, witnessing, honoring, and continuing after death.

This retainer typically lasts 3–6 months, or until death, depending on the situation and needs.

Best for:

families navigating active decline
caregivers needing grounded support
people wanting both practical presence and legacy-centered care
those who want something more sustained than a one-time project

Support may include:

companionship
bedside vigils
caregiver respite
end-of-life planning support
hospice liaison support
education and grounding around the dying process
collaborative legacy or memorial art
gentle follow-through after the funeral

*Note:
Available virtually and in person in the Midland, GA and Atlanta, GA areas, with openness to travel depending on scope and availability.

A smaller-scope custom commission for when you already have a clearer idea of what you want.
This offering is still personal and carefully made, but it involves less guided collaboration than the full legacy project. You may already know the photo, mood, colors, subject, or style you want, and just need someone to bring it to life with care.

Best for:

memorial gifts
anniversary or remembrance pieces
portraits
altar art
simpler custom works with a defined concept

This may include:

portrait commissions
memorial illustrations or paintings
focused symbolic pieces
selected custom formats depending on project scope

Good fit if:
You already have a direction and want a meaningful custom piece without the deeper co-creative container.

How to choose the right fit

Choose Collaborative Legacy & Memorial Art if you want a more guided, story-rich process.
Choose Standard Commission if you already know what you want and want a more straightforward custom piece.
Choose the End-of-Life Retainer if you’re in an active end-of-life season and want ongoing support plus legacy creation.

If you’re not sure which one fits, that’s okay. The consultation is there to help us figure that out together.

What working together feels like

My approach is:

consent-first
grief-informed
non-clinical
clear about scope and boundaries
warm, collaborative, and grounded

You do not have to “perform” your grief here. You do not need the perfect words. We start with what matters and build from there.
