Having recently moved up North, I am fascinated by the plants, animals, and culture that I am surrounded by and want to instill that fascination in others by creating paintings and books that showcase the wonder of our land. As a mother, I want my children to have a deep appreciation for the place we call home, which has been my motivation for creating my own books. When I am not painting or crafting, I love to garden, tend my backyard flock of chickens, forage in the forest, or go swimming or mountain biking in our rich wilderness.
