I grew up in an artistic family in the suburbs of Minnesota, where creativity and expression were woven into the fabric of everyday life. My parents instilled in me a deep appreciation for beauty, craftsmanship, and the power of creating something meaningful with your own hands. Those early years surrounded by art and imagination laid the foundation for my lifelong passion for creating.

As I grew older, my journey took me to the rural lake country of Stearns County, Minnesota, where I found a profound connection to nature. The serene landscapes, towering trees, vibrant flowers, and peaceful lakes offered an endless source of inspiration. Living among this natural beauty changed how I saw the world—it reminded me to slow down, appreciate the details, and work with the materials nature provides. This connection sparked a new chapter in my creative journey, blending my artistic roots with my love for the outdoors.

My art reflects this harmony between nature and creativity. Every piece I create celebrates the organic beauty of the natural world, whether it’s through landscapes, handcrafted designs, or ornaments sourced from materials I’ve gathered. My work is not just about creating beautiful objects; it’s about sharing the sense of peace, wonder, and joy that nature brings into my life.

Family is at the heart of everything I do. I’m a proud mother to two incredible boys who inspire me daily with their curiosity and energy. They’ve taught me to see the world through fresh eyes and have become a big part of why I create—to show them the importance of following your passions. Alongside my boys, I share my home with a spirited group of dogs and cats who fill our days with love, laughter, and companionship.

Through my art, I strive to create pieces that are authentic, heartfelt, and meaningful. My hope is that each creation not only reflects my connection to nature and family but also resonates with those who bring it into their own lives. I believe in the power of handmade, one-of-a-kind work to connect people, and I’m honored to share my journey and creations with you.
