Dream Team
We are a husband and wife team committed to excellence and ingenuity in all we do. We celebrate and embrace each other's complementary skills and aesthetic sensitivities. We truly enjoy creating beautiful work together.
Art + Wellbeing
As a former nurse practitioner, mother of three, and multidisciplinary creative, I offer a unique perspective.
Science now tells us how crucial it is for our environments to nurture a sense of comfort, inspire interest and curiosity, and tell a story. This is the power of thoughtful, coherent design.
But a new kind of design is rising: spaces that specifically aim to nurture wellbeing and “bring the outdoors in" with naturally-inspired elements. When we are in contact with spaces that have these elements, we are soothed, uplifted, grounded, and even awed.
We feel rejuvenated and refreshed when we spend time outside--we evolved ‘out there,’ and are hardwired for biophilic environments. At the same time, our relationship with the natural world has shifted to more of an abstract ‘thing’ than a complex reality filled with living systems--which we are part of. We don't often know the flora and fauna we come in contact with now--but we can learn by listening and offering attention.
Globally, there is a new movement to fuse nature and art to improve health and uplift. And my work is here to do the same for your spaces.
Craftsman + Visionary
With almost two decades of fine woodworking experience, Matthew is a true craftsman and artisan. He is the engineer behind many studio projects and creates beautiful frames for the artworks. He runs his own business full-time and makes our family a priority.
Matthew was the one to gently ask, "Is it time? To start your art business?" and has been a part of founding the studio in every way. He is the ultimate supporter and visionary, and I thank him daily. We're committed to helping each other succeed and make dreams a reality.
Artist Statement
My work is guided by connection with the earth, the Land. The earth is very much alive and intelligently designed, beyond the typical human-centric ways of perceiving. I am learning to trust my heart and gut, for the earth doesn't communicate the way we do.
I want to tell the stories of other non-human beings, and challenge the narratives that disconnect us from the earth. Every painting, every series is a celebration and elevation of these elder kin and their stories. Every ink and ink painting created are both inquiries and wild discoveries, magic in the mundane.
The earth has so much to say, so much to teach us, if we are willing to listen deeply and in new ways.
Artist Mission
What and how I create is directly connected to the land, shifting and evolving. I was built for deep inquiry, listening, and sensing subtlety while also seeing broadly--zoom in, zoom out, repeat.
As I continue learning the stories and multifaceted identities of living beings, ecosystems and how I can be a better human in it, I hope to convey what I value: sensitivity, humility, nurturing, reciprocity, and wonder.
I continue mapping the terrain of outer and inner landscapes--and sharing what comes through.
