Our Story
"I geek out over the patterns hidden in rocks, bark, and the perfect symmetry of flowers — and I love watching people light up as they discover their own creativity. My goal is to share that joy every day through art-making."
I’m endlessly curious about the patterns hidden in nature — in bark, rocks, and the symmetry of flowers. As a PA Wilds juried artist and teaching artist, I find joy in helping others experience the wonder of making art.
Through my handcrafted watercolor kits, hand-painted silk scarves, and letterpress prints, I invite people to see the beauty of Pennsylvania’s wild places and to make a creative connection of their own.
Morning walks with my dachshunds, Monty and Sparky, often spark ideas — from the shimmer of a stream to the geometry of a spiderweb. Those details find their way into my art, blending observation, storytelling, and a touch of whimsy.
For me, artmaking is about discovery — whether it’s mixing color, exploring texture, or sharing a moment of creativity with someone new.
