As a young girl growing up in Alaska, I was drawn to the colors and forms found in nature. I was especially drawn to moss, lichen, mushrooms and found objects from the earth. Echoing the connection indigenous people have with all things living, I felt a reverence for every object that came from the earth, as if it were a sacred art form.

Today, I believe my gift lies in my ability to see the energy and vibration of color, and the natural flow and order of the universe. When I consider a stone or precious metal, I’m able to connect with the life it holds, and its potential. This begins my process of visualization, coming from my center, and ultimately expressed through my art.
