A gardener, quilter, and trekker, my passion for mountains and hikes often weave themselves into my garden and quilt designs. Primarily using native plant palettes, found objects, and repurposing onsite materials, my aesthetic is about an understated call to look close and behold the unassuming authority of seemingly useless materials in a wildly wonderful native plant landscape or hand-made quilt. 

 

The garden, its design and build, which always includes water harvesting earthworks and teaching while building, is what I enjoy doing most.

​

I hike when I'm not gardening, quilt when I'm not hiking, sing when I'm not quilting, write, draw and design when all else fails. Did I mention cook!
