Walking barefoot in a cold stream, sitting in a field of wildflowers, watching a spider spin a web, climbing a tree, planting a seed, waking to the sound of birdsong, placing a hand on the spongy moss of the forest floor…

These are the moments that fill my spirit, pique my imagination and find their way into everything I create.

Nature has been a constant thread throughout my life — from the forests of Massachusetts to the rainforests of British Columbia, the prairies of Minnesota and now the shore of Lake Superior in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Each place has left its mark on me and my work.

This new chapter of life has me living more quietly and more connected to the rhythm of the seasons. Growing and preserving food, tapping trees, raising chickens and heating our home with wood in the winter have given me a deeper appreciation for what nature quietly does for us.

Not everyone can pick up and move to the woods. But that sense of calm, wonder and connection that nature provides? That can live in your home. That's what I wish to share.

"I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful — an endless prospect of magic and wonder." — Ansel Adams
