Hi, I’m Insa,

The Garden Witch

Artist, garden coach, metal fabricator, mystic builder of sacred spaces

I help people remember

who they are through ritual, nature, and creative reclamation.

I created this space for anyone who has ever bloomed not because conditions were perfect, but because they refused to stay buried. My work invites people back to themselves, their land, and their own rhythm of healing.

Whether I’m supporting someone in their garden, shaping metal into meaningful forms, or painting stories of growth and emotion, I create with the intention of helping others feel more rooted, connected, and whole.

Spite & Bloom is

where spirit meets soil.

A creative ecosystem rooted in healing, expression, and reconnection.
Explore three paths: each an invitation to tend land, self, and story

Paintings & Prints

Garden Coaching

Build confidence and connection in the garden with grounded support and intuitive rhythm, rooted in relationship with the land.

Metal Work

Sculptural and functional outdoor pieces, made with fire, grit, and intention.

"I bought a painting from Insa to fill a blank wall in our new home, but it completely transformed the space! It’s warm, striking, and has become an instant conversation starter. I’m also so glad there are print options available; they made perfect gifts for a few friends who couldn’t stop talking about it."

“Working with Insa was such a gift. They're super knowledgeable and genuinely kind, which made the whole process feel really easy and supportive. Instead of just telling me what to plant, they helped me reconnect with my garden in a way that felt emotional and meaningful. They totally got where I was coming from—my limits, my overwhelm—and helped me simplify things without losing what I really wanted. Now my garden feels like a peaceful, fulfilling space that actually works for me. I’m so grateful for Insa’s guidance and gentle encouragement.”

"I was searching for a meaningful, lasting gift, something personal that couldn't be found in a store. I chose Insa because their work feels rooted, intentional, and felt handmade in the best possible way. No part of it felt generic. From start to finish, the process was collaborative and thoughtful, and the final fire pit felt like it belonged there all along. It’s now the heart of their garden, and a constant source of connection and joy.”
