I’m a Minnesota wood artist living in the Twin Cities. I balance a full-time job at a vet hospital (puppies and kittens everywhere!) with making art out of my parents’ garage. My dad pretends not to be thrilled, then turns around and buys me tools. Basically, I’m always covered in sawdust, and my two favorite games are “Is that paint or a bruise?” and “Oh crap, am I bleeding again?”. Needless to say, I have a whole drawer in my cabinet devoted to wound care.

When it comes to making things, I’ve had multiple jobs that handed me power tools and chainsaws and told me to get after it! Which I did, with vigor. In a field dominated by men, however, I missed the more feminine side of the world. I've devoted my artistic talents to marrying those two sides: the stereotypical masculine traits of woodworking and the beauty of the feminine in nature.
