Behind the Style

cbusSummer (2)_edited.jpg

I make art because I like inspiring others to find the joy and well-being that can spring about from beginning, and often continuing for life, to gather knowledge of the natural world.  Some day you may find it handy to know what those green, brown, multicolored things growing on the ground you step around can provide.

 

The Earth provides!  I have experienced a not-so-well known chronic health condition called interstitial cystitis, and oh my, how it blew!  My life became very limited to a bland diet and restrictions of pleasures, so I understand and sympathize if you are in a similar boat. 

 

I am here to shed light on the fact that it's quite likely that everything you need to heal is within shifting your thought patterns and found growing somewhere out of this planet. After 4 years of doctor visits, trying various pharmaceuticals, to then only incorporating natural remedies and mindset shifts, my symptoms remain a thing of the past.  I'm currently sticking to the diet, dipping toes outside of it with no repercussions!

My long-term plan is to make many little paintings based on individual species of nature, describing their benefits, things to look out for while foraging for local forest foods, as well as ecological and mindfulness topics.  I love sharing these tips, especially to help out those who need it!

 

In my early days, I spent time drawing in sketch books and playing outside.  I enjoyed the required art classes in public school and in 2015, after a college elective intro to painting course, I started casually painting on canvases.  Since then, I've slowly improved through my own efforts, and with a snowballing interest, opened an online store in 2019.  Then I took the full-time leap this year (2024)! ⛄

I was raised in Southeastern Ohio and have since traveled around the U.S. with seasonal work from a career in hospitality to forest management.  Pictures below:  two particularly rough days out of the 8 years of rewarding grunt work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll never be done caring for our natural world! 10% of sales from my original artwork (paintings and jewelry) go to Project Learning Tree.  This is an award-winning non-profit that teaches youth (preschool-grade 12) about sustainability, green careers, and forest literacy.  This is so important for our future!  I'm currently residing in Columbus, Ohio, studying individual species and presenting their benefits.  I'm so grateful to have this opportunity to go all in!

Our imaginations make life as great or difficult as we perceive.  If you perceive colors around you for each of their healing properties, your life will begin to brighten.  I have been exploring this with some abstract additions, and often consider this while choosing color schemes for my artwork.

You will see some visionary and surreal art in this mix.  I also make aromatherapy jewelry using lava rock beads and digital edits of my own nature photos.
