Art & Creativity
I’m a Pacific Northwest-based artist, adventurer, educator, and guide who believes in the power of nature, creativity, community, and adventure to bring us home— to ourselves and to each other.
For over three decades, I’ve guided, taught, and mentored people of all ages, helping them feel seen, inspired, and empowered. Through my art and creative practices, coaching, and work in wild places, I create spaces for creativity, belonging, and meaningful transformation.
At the heart of it all, I believe we are the “artists of our own lives”.
When we create, connect, and step into adventure together, we not only discover ourselves more fully—we help shape stronger, more vibrant communities.

Creating in the powerful and ever-evolving landscape of Mount St. Helens was a deep honor and a natural extension of my life’s work and mission. The Science and Learning Center at Coldwater shares a similar mission- to connect people with nature through science, the arts, and adventure recreation, making this a perfect fit!
I also had the joy of participating in Mount St. Helens Institute’s inspiring GeoGirls program, which connects middle school girls with science, mentorship, and the natural world.
