I am a digital artist & illustrator, fiber artist, and creative facilitator living and working in Washington on the northwest coast of the Salish Sea.

 

My art is deeply rooted in the natural world. In all of my creations, I attempt to capture and reflect the beauty around me, making one-of-a-kind pieces that are shaped by my personal perspective and unlike anything seen before.

​​

As a creative facilitator, I'm drawn to people, projects and organizations that practice relational courage, curiosity, daring, and generosity in the ways they interact with the world around them. Learn more about my facilitation offerings at PARALLAX 49

As a folk artist, I am primarily self-taught (with the aid of books, youtube, and with plenty of phone-a-friend rescues).

 

Nevertheless, I want to offer my gratitude to those who initially introduced me to my now-favorite tools and techniques in art.

I am a settler of Welsh and Norwegian descent living on the traditional and ancestral lands of a number of Indigenous nations, including the Lummi, Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen, Tulalip, Nooksack, Stz’uminus, Tsawout, Pauquachin, Tsartlip, Tseycum, Malahat, T'Sou-ke, Hul'qumi'num, Halalt, Penelakut, Ts’uubaa-asatx, Lyackson peoples, who have lived in relationship with these lands and their plant and animal relatives since time immemorial. I offer my respect, honor, and gratitude to their elders, past, present and future.

 

I invite all settlers who read this to join me seeking right relationship and repair for our role in the ongoing colonization of homelands stolen from the Indigenous people of this continent. Let's keep learning alongside one another.
