I'm an artist, horticultural therapist, garden designer & educator, and urban farmer inspired by nature and the human spirit. Watching, learning, and collaborating with artists in my family throughout my life provided beautiful moments of self-discovery and creative exploration in the realms of oil and acrylic painting, watercolor, sculpture, mixed-media collage, wood working, upcycled product creations, nature-inspired interior design installations, and garden art installations. Combining these experiences with the knowledge and hands-on learning provided by the avid gardeners, garden designers, naturalists, and teachers in my family helped forge part of the foundation of who I am today. I learned from as far back as I can remember that creative expression and connecting with the Earth gives us opportunities to heal and grow.
