Stories, practices, and conversations for people building a whole creative life.
I’m Faye—a writer, artist, and creator of Library of Care.
Through stories, practices, experiences, and Story Care Coaching, I create spaces where people can build a whole creative life—one rooted in curiosity, care, and sustainable creative practice.
Creativity isn’t something we seek.
It’s a relationship worthy of our care.
Your Whole Creative Life Begins Here
Library of Care is built on the belief that curiosity is one of the deepest forms of care.
