In a world where most products are made far away in unknown conditions, I believe in supporting local makers and growers. There’s something special about connecting directly with the person behind the product and knowing exactly where it comes from. Being part of the grassroots community at the Bellingham Farmers Market and other arts fairs gives me a sense of purpose and freedom. It allows me to do what I love, connect with others, and embrace a world full of possibilities.

As a mother, artist and “Earth Walker” it is very important to me to showcase our human experience within our natural habitat. The pieces that I create, even the smallest ones, are a constant reminder of our place within this world and the beauty that surrounds us and sustains us. With this I hope to strengthen our trust in this trail of life we are all walking.

Thank you for your interest in my work
