Introduction I am an artist, maker, and seeker thirsty for meaning and connection. I look for beauty wherever I go and love nothing more than to share it with others. I believe in dreams and doing what it takes to get your Oprah on (Live Your Best Life ;)) I am inspired by the profound mystery and beauty of our existence here on this planet and the astonishing diversity of life all around us. My current wildest desire is to live surrounded by nature; just me, my man, our babies,( and some animal babies); and to explore living off of the land and re-establishing our relationship with Mother Nature.
