My love of nature and art was born at our kitchen table in my childhood home in the woods of upstate New York. I didn’t know it then, but the simple act of gathering flowers and pressing them between the pages of the book into bookmarks was planting a seed in my psyche. It instilled a love of nature, color and art that my mom nurtured endlessly. She filled our days with birdwatching, drawing and exploring the frozen pond behind our house aptly named Sugar Pond. The kitchen became a casual art studio, a science lab, a magical space full of acorns, leaves, pencils, coloring books, twigs, dried flowers, color & light. I went on to study art in college, became an art teacher and then a graphic designer. Now, after raising my own children, I’m returning to school to combine my passions into a new exciting field. My studio these days is in Boulder, Colorado and is still a magical space full of acorns, leaves, pencils, coloring books, twigs, dried flowers, color & light.
