LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF
I grew up on a small farm of a couple hundred acres just outside a tiny town in the heartland of the United States. After coming home from school, the first job was to help care for the livestock, cattle, hogs, and chickens. I spent the summers helping in the large garden, cutting thistles out of the pasture, and throwing bails. When I could, I found a tree to hide in so I could read my books without being interrupted by my brother. It was a childhood that taught responsibility, education, listening to the natural world, and hard work. We lived an abundant life by making full creative use of the resources available.
My life since has taken many twists and turns through college, produce farming, and art, that have reinforced those lessons and added a wide variety of knowledge and skills that I use to create abundance in my life by taking the resources available to me and recombining overlooked resources and old and new techniques to create new potential.

MY SPIRIT
I believe in a living breathing earth that supports and sustains the life that lives upon her. I try, to the best of my ability, to live a simple and sustainable life that protects and respects the earth, her resources, and the sacred web of life. I try to respect the past, work in the present, and protect the next seven generations. I endeavor to walk gently with compassion and a healing spirit.
MY PURPOSE
|
My life's purpose is to promote a society that:
Is sustainable and healing to the earth and all the life that calls her home. Supports people and their dreams. Takes into account the needs of all the earths residents for the next seven generations. Helps restore balance between the pieces of the puzzle. |
MY WORK
|
I have spent the last few years earning a living creating an eclectic blend of art, jewelry, and fiber work that I have been selling at powwows, shows, and festivals. I artistically blend unusual resource and media, natural, recycled, and foraged materials to create one of a kind pieces with stories to tell. I am now bringing a selection of this work to a larger audience through this site.
