Mailed monthly · away from screens

Message from
Universe Mail Club.

Once a month, a handwritten letter arrives at your door — sealed with wax, alongside an A5 print of my painting. A small ritual to slow you down.

What arrives at your door

Slow mail,
the way it used to feel.

01 · The message

A letter, with the month's message inside.

Each month I write you one — whatever I've been sitting with in the studio. A small noticing, a quiet idea, an invitation to pause. Read it slowly. There's nothing else you need to do with it.

02 · The print

An A5 print of my painting.

Tucked in beside the letter, a print of one of my paintings — sized to sit on a shelf, a desk, or a windowsill. A little piece of the studio to keep, long after you've read the message.

03 · The arrival

Sealed with wax. Addressed by hand.

A real envelope in real ink, with your name written on the front. The opening of it is the first ritual — a small pause before the rest of your day begins.

Who I am

I've been mulling over the intersection between painting and spirituality — how a quiet noticing in the studio can turn into something worth mailing across the world. For a long time I was looking for a way to share those small contemplations without the noise of a screen.

The Message from Universe Mail Club is what came of it. From a small home studio (and sometimes, from the mighty Himalayas), I send you an A5 print of my art and an insight from that month that may relate to your own journey.
