Finding connection through art and education.

A nature inspired artist based in the PNW. Probably hanging out in a forest or wetland somewhere.
Forgot to post my nature journal pages from the Bird Alliance sanctuary. I love walking away from experiences learning something new. I’ve seen piggyback plants many times, but didn’t know the name for them.

What plants in your neighborhood have you recently learned about?

To color or not to color? That is the question…

As I continue to practice with physical media, I often feel the pressure still to add color. But I find sometimes I like the challenge of leaving a drawing in graphite only.

New Blog Post: N is for Navigate
Well we have made it pretty far on our journey of learning about nature journaling - in fact I think I see our destination in sight... But how did we get here? And where are we going next?

New Blog Post: A Is For Ask Questions

Sometimes questions lead to answers, but other times...they lead to more questions! Nature journaling can help us explore our curiosity.

It has been so nice to be creating art again. But the temptation to keep adding to it is a lot right now. #artist #digitalart #natureart #artistproblems

Working on a project for my Naturalist program. I have learned so much about native plants and how local tribes used them and stewarded the land.

For the first day of my Oregon Naturalist Ecoregion course, I got to go back to Dawson Creek Wetlands. We were guided by Shea Fuller of the @wetlandsconservancy on an awesome adventure through a spring wetland, complete with Oregon rain showers.

Sometimes it is important to celebrate the small things and the big ones. As of today, my artwork has now been bought by people in 25 out of 50 states. It makes the world feel a little extra sparkly today.

Had the amazing opportunity to lead my first nature journaling outing yesterday.

We each had fun exploring and capturing it through words, pictures, and numbers.

I created two sets of journal spreads, one in the field and one at home.

Today is National Bird Day in the US, so I decided to challenge myself a bit with a journal entry and try some different things. Sketched in the field and gathered my data, then came home to ink and add color.
