My Background
Since I was a baby, I seem to always have the softest threads, fabrics, and beads within an arms reach. I tend to be holding something in my hands at all times. I even ran a marathon once with soft stones in each hand!
Throughout my colorful journey in this life I have combined my skills to bring authentic, one-of-a-kind art pieces & soul-rockin' experiences to you!
My Medium & Coaching
I use many different textiles in my weavings. You will find silk, cotton, organics, macramé cord, lace and so much more.
My jewelry comes with inspiration from the mother we all share,
Mother Nature!
My oracle readings & Spiritual Coaching are driven through love and supported by Spirit. Yes, I'm a certified Life Coach.
All art/readings are created with deep intention & LOVE.
My Inspiration
Spirit of the moment (zeitgeist) is my inspiration. My spirit, your spirit, the spirt found in nature, music, moments, animals, elements and the silver lining between us and our angels & ancestors all drive me to create and share!
My parents who passed at young ages have inspired me to
turn my grief into something beautiful,
healing and extremely special for the soul's I cross paths with.
Oracle Readings are a beautiful way to take yourself deeper into your soul, your purpose and ask those fun questions like, "why am I here?".
I also treasure making custom mala's to provide you with precious gemstones that withhold healing properties that you can carry with you day in and day out. Mala's are beautiful to wear and even more beautiful when used for meditation. I am here to gently guide you should you request on how to set your intention for your very own mala, create beautiful mantra's and meditate any time you need.
About ME
Where Did I Come From?
I was raised in the city of two merging rivers, Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
As a young child I enjoyed spending time in "my forest" with my dog, Pepsi. I was my mother's only child and was being raised by my grandparents, mostly. The forest and Sherman Creek were right outside our door. The trees were my friends, the creek was my map, the birds, deer, bunnies, squirrels were my gang. I would spend days building forts out of sticks and any other materials I could swipe from my grandpa's shed. Once settled in I would write poems and stories that I would then bring back to my grandparents, my beloved audience. Along with the writing it wouldn't be bazaar for me to come out with crowns of twigs and sweetgrasses or other random forest offerings.
New Orleans & The Cabin
Summers were spent at the cabin in Weyerhauser, Wisconsin. This was such a magical place. Our houseboat that would roam the chain of lakes is still a legend to this day. The houseboat was built by my grandfather and his father. It was a magical boat that I spent endless hot summer days laying on the roof dreaming up poems, stories and making jewelry.
Following the 4th of July, my uncle would invite me back to his hometown of New Orleans where I would have the privilege to watch over my little cousin and get to explore the city. Much of New Orleans broke my seed of creativity open allowing the most incredible flowers in my mind to grow! The connection to Jackson Square was always so strong, as though I had lived multiple lives walking that exact area. The art and music made me feel alive and inspired me to continue to be exactly who I feel called to be.
Duluth, MN
To say I was a bit wild in high school would be correct. I was never one to be "tied down" to a place. About five minutes after I graduated high school I knew I had to fly somewhere. I called my amazing dad in Duluth, MN and asked him if I could come stay with them for a little while until I got on my feet. I can still hear the excitement in his voice. With a Grand Am packed full of garbage bags of my life I zoomed up Hwy. 53 into a vibrant new chapter of my life. It was here that I added shimmer to my colors, where I peeled off the mask so many of us wear during those teen years. I danced, I sang, I met endless creative friends, I performed and created. I worked at the grooviest coffee shop in town along with the sweetest Native American Trading Post gift shop. I embraced the art of the dreamcatcher, jewelry making and seeing people for the beauty they bring into the world.
*Please note, what I create in my "macraweave's" are not to be implied as Native American dreamcatchers. If you feel that they are something you'd like to represent that in your life, that's totally fine.
Adulthood
Panama
The Beautiful Southwest
Florida to the Midwest
In 2005 I had an amazing opportunity to spend half of my year in Panama teaching third grade. What an experience!! The colors and culture of Panama were overflowing. I couldn't get a big enough drink! The influence of the Kuna (Guna) Indigenous people was massive. The colors, stories and care that goes into their art was something I breathed deep into my own fibers of life.

2007-2009 I found myself teaching second grade to the most amazing little humans! I lived in a wonderful little house with a koi pond, a colorful hammock, palm trees and flowers that danced endless dances. Close enough to the beach it wouldn't be uncommon to see me cruising in convertible with a batch over oversized hula hoops in the back seat.
In 2009 my husband and I expected our first (and only) baby so we made our way back to the midwest to be closer to family. We purchased our first "island" home in the tiny town of Chetek, WI. Accompanied by a newborn, turtles, bald eagles and all of the furry friends of Wisconsin I would spend hours creating in our basement.
Hungry for culture we made the move to Minneapolis in 2013. We loved this time being so close to friends, siblings and culture....but..... we were SO cold so....we packed up yet again and made our way to.......

Eternally grateful for all of the places we've been able to call home we finally landed in a place that feels like we could plant some serious roots. Metaphorically that might sound odd as the lands here are not the easiest to actually root in! Spiritually, I feel that I found the place on my human constellation journey that I had been longing for.
There are endless opportunities for the spirit, mind, and body in the desert. I am proud to call Arizona home and look forward to all of the tomorrow's I am gifted.
