see what’s in our shop

Interior of a restaurant called 'The Fertile Void Cafe' with four framed mirrors on the wall, two with red text 'paint drying...' and one with red text 'paint drying...' and a sign that reads 'the FV cafe,' a round table with a few chairs, and some booklets on the table.

“Life is rich and rewarding in so many ways if we only take the time and space to notice.”

Here in the fv café, we share the breadth of our art—poetry, paintings, prose, photographs, music, and our collective wisdom.

What counts, in the café as in life, is that our hearts are in it.

who
we are

A person wearing a houndstooth beret and a black coat plays the piano in a room with green walls, decorated with musical notes, a clock, and a portrait of Beethoven. A cat lies on the piano behind the person.

A woman with long grayish hair and glasses lying on the grass outdoors, smiling, with a dandelion puff in the foreground and blue sky with clouds in the background.

Matthew, Arnaly, Sara and Yvonne.

Four creatively like-hearted people who love all that’s best about being human.

Each of us does “our own thing” in our individual, unique ways but we come together as often as we can in the Fertile Void Café to share stories, experiences, laughter and troubles, too.

Above all, we come to celebrate being alive.

In a nutshell, Matthew writes, Arnaly sings, Sara voices and Yvonne paints.

But the truth is, we all do all of these things - and more. There are no labels or restrictions in the Fertile Void!

You can find out more inside the Café - just as soon as we find time in between creating wonderful stuff and write a bit about ourselves. And have our photos taken, of course.
