I am a botanical and wildlife naturalist painter who happens to live on a farm filled with fiber animals. I share this world with my husband, 3 border collies and 3 housecats.
In addition to my painting I am also an indie yarn dyer; handpainting yarns in colors inspired by my love of nature, and of course I have a fiber business that includes yarns and fibers created from the animals on the farm.
