About me
I hail from a quaint lakeside town nestled amidst the serene shores of Lake Michigan
where the cedar woods meet the majestic sand dunes of a magnificent body of water. My formative years were filled with magical experiences outside: searching for frogs amidst the marshes, chasing lightning bugs and dragonflies during the summer twilight, and gathering wildflowers along the woodland's edge. These moments ignited a passion for nature, instilling in me a profound reverence.
My grandfather taught me the different varieties of trees and where to search for blackberries, and how to carve walking sticks out of white pine. My dad took me fishing and my mom showed me how to keep a vegetable garden. I spent countless afternoons in the long, cool grass, playing with trolls or pretending that I could talk to the ferns.
I’ve always loved to create. Whether through painting, arranging blossoms, instructing classes, or curating exhibitions, my work mirrors the rhythms of my life intertwined with nature. I use the colors, textures, and movement to capture the transient and often volatile nature of the outdoors, while also evoking a sense of calm and connectedness. It is my goal to bring a little bit of nature and beauty in to your home.
