Based on a Michigan hobby farm, I draw inspiration from the natural world, old relics and beautiful mundane. My husband and our two teens keep me busy traveling, cooking, antiquing and doing all kinds of outdoorsy things. Our cat, two goats, 21 chickens (all named!) and wild backyard friends bring laughter, joy and, of course, stories. These stories come together in words and whimsical, wonky mixed media illustrations.
