OPEN STUDIO HOURS | 02/13/2026 | Suryah Studio
Just confirmed! Suryah Studio will be open for another Open Studio Hours at our new workspace in the Station North Arts District within Blue Light Junction. Come by, let's chat, commune, and swoon over the cool stuff I make hahaha. View and shop new works, objects, archive, and samples from the studio. Enjoy a natural dye exercise and fundraiser on the main floor and meet the other amazing creators who steward the space and dye gardens. There is no cost to attend this event.

Publishing As A Practice | Suryah Studio
In 2025, I really just had the itch to not only write more but also publish those writings, both digitally through platforms like Substack and Medium, and tangibly as paper zines and other small-press goods. I’ve written a bit already about my journaling to this point, so I won’t take up too much space on that specifically, but I want to make space for reverence and celebration of myself, my desires, and my goals accomplished in the writing space. I’ve published 10 original w

The Acquisition Of "Water As A Portal" | Suryah Studio
It’s 2:03 pm on December 7th, 2025, and I’ve just found out that a private collector has acquired my piece “Water As A Portal” (2025). “Water As A Portal” was a really special piece that I specifically created for the S.T.E.M to Studio Exhibition within Gallery Re-Imagined in Baltimore City.

Suryah Studio 2025 Holiday Market Schedule
Well, after a short bout of procrastination, I’ve finally emerged with the full Holiday Market schedule for the studio. Like all of our markets this year so far, we will have a range of small batch natural dyed cotton soft goods, bags, and objects along with zines, art prints, ritual tools, and supplies. My partner Alysha will also be joining for a couple of these dates to offer pendulums and a small inventory of deathcare-related zines. I hope to see as many of you as possib

Say Her Name: The Rewriting Of Terra Swann’s Obituary
On a somber Friday morning, I sadly learned of the passing of a creative force in my local arts and culture community. Again, another moment I discover someone’s passing while mindlessly scrolling on social media. A constant occurrence in the last 7 years that I refuse to ever acknowledge as usual. Frequent, yes, but I will never accept that as acceptable. We all deserve more kinship and consideration than that. Upon further asking and searching, I discovered the obituary of
