Introduction Artist, plein air painter, blogger, mother, teacher, and student of it all.... I am an artist raising two young children in the home and studio that my artist husband and I built...overlooking Yellowstone National Park. John scuplts, I paint and together we design and create lighting - from small sconces to massive chandeliers. In our spare time we build the house, chase the kids, watch the wildlife out our windows and keep our vacation rental lodging running too! This blog highlights our adventures in life, work, and building - with some inspriation mixed in for how we juggle it all.
