I am an artist, photographer, and mother, in love with the wildness of nature around me, the thunderstorms and plains, and the way the branches thrash in the wind. I find inspiration in stories, both what I read, and the stories told by friends. All of our lives are stories. This year, the study of yoga has taken most of my attention. Next year I’d like to start teaching. Despite that, I still make time to sketch, read, and take a few photos. I’ve travelled quite a bit across the US in my life, as well as to several places internationally. I find value in small everyday habits and joys.
