Welcome to my shop! I’m a top selling artist nestled in the mitten state, inspired by the beauty that surrounds me—and the wonder that lies beyond. Art to me is both a calling and a conversation with nature.
With over 1,800 sales and the honor of being a five star Chairish super seller for three years running, this little shop has become a gallery of gratitude and growth. I’m thrilled to continue sharing my work with you.
New pieces are added weekly, each created with care and intention. My shop is rooted in eco-friendly and sustainable practices, I regularly rescue, restore and recycle materials to give them new life through art.
Thank you for stopping by and supporting handmade creativity with heart.
