Four Guardians

Air thick with cold, we trekked up the mountainside surrounded by dense clouds threatening heavy snow—the presence of winter was knocking. The fast-moving clouds masked the typically expansive horizon. But in one glance, the cloud cover broke, revealing a fleeting window of these four towering peaks. The mountains looked right back at us—infinite, unyielding, protective. It was as if, for a moment, the veil lifted, and all energy became clear—known without question—to see and be seen with eyes unclouded.

Vemwell exists to share the inherent stories of being and the natural world, revealing the oneness of life on earth. Composed of two artists working as one, Ashley and Zachary Vemwell are the vision behind Vemwell. Guided by their practices of spirituality, holistic wellness, and minimalism, their purpose is to inspire the pursuit of sound mind, body, and soul, conservation of the natural world, and awareness of our shared oneness through art.
