Finding peace, joy, and so much life here on the farmstead refuge the past few weeks! When I drive by the majority of homes and see manicured lawns with nothing but grass, the void of life makes me sad.

Hello! Here are few pieces from my most recent #grapehyacinth collection. One thing we did last fall was plant these bulbs in a variety of places scattered about in areas that receive varying amounts of sunlight.

Just 2wks ago I posted a pic of these #rhubarb bursting out of the Earth with Spring fervor! Just cut my first batch🙏💚 It’s nice anytime, but especially these days, to be as self sufficient as possible!

Planted #asparagus last spring so I’m excited to see them emerging this year!! Well let them all go again without harvesting them, but maybe next year we’ll cut a few. Aren’t they so cool coming out of the ground like this!?!

You know it’s truly spring when #grapehyacinth season begins☀️🪻😀
Changing my art with the seasons is fun and also helps keep my work small batch and unique. Here’s to pops of spring color bringing pops of hope…✌️🌈✊

One thing keeping me somewhat grounded while the coup is replacing our #democracy with #fascism has been the hatching of #paintedturtles in our yard! So far we've helped 32 to the pond! We even saw 4 emerge from the ground. It’s been truly special. Enjoy the compilation. More to come.

Even with instability, rights being stripped, and lives being destroyed by fascist policies, the cycles of Nature continue. Yes, the #climatecrisis impacts these cycles, but I still find peace and comfort in them. And #rhubarb is so dang pretty AND tasty! Daydreaming about rhubarb mojitos☀️😎

My little #pine mug forest from the last firing😁
As the seasons shift I’ll be transitioning from pines to flowers! Since I use real foliage, flowers, etc, my nature imprint work evolves with the seasons. Each piece is truly one of a kind.

#handsoff protest in Lansing, MI. Regardless of your political affiliation, if you’re a working class American, I hope inform yourself and join the movement. Otherwise, our country will be ruined by a very small percentage of the wealthiest who could care less about any of us.

For this final part 3 video I’m brushing my “stem mix” underglaze in the imprints. Then I use a clear glaze on top. That part is boring so no video for that😁
Please call your rep to demand they oppose HR 22 SAVE Act (voter suppression)!
