As a child\, I spent my days picking weeds an d flowers and exploring creative pursuits\, and not much has changed. Today\, I create nature-inspired watercolor paintings that celebrate o ur connection to the land\, offering little pieces of trail and garden to bring into everyday life. My artwork is available as prints\, card s\, and stickers. I also craft small-batch watercolor paints made from foraged\, garden-grown\, and thoughtfully sourced plants and earth pi gments. Each color tells a story\, such as a rich golden hue made from marigold petals grown in my own garden\, offering an earth-connected alternative to mass-produced art materials.
