I feel blessed to have found what I truly love, and am happy to be able to share it!

I have always been making things and knew that one day I wanted to sell what I was creating. From an early age, my mom set this example for me. She was an original mompreneur. Once I got a digital camera, I knew I had found my true bliss, and there was no turning back!

Photography has been a part of my life since my teen years. I took my first photography class in high school, in the early eighties. I continued with more classes in college and spent many hours in the dark room. It was always exciting to put a piece of paper in a chemical bath and watch an image slowly appear. The process is different now, but I still love seeing a photo "develop".

I enjoy taking photos of our natural world and exploring natural light. There is so much beauty to be found. For me, nowhere is this truer, than at the beach. Having grown up on a small island in Alaska, I spent many hours on the beach, and being near the ocean is a part of who I am. Now that I live in the Pacific Northwest, I still spend many hours at the beach with my husband and two daughters. The Pacific Northwest is truly a unique place, with its many inlets, islands and miles of beaches.

While at the beach, I can't help filling my pockets with beautiful shells and stones and collecting beach glass and pieces of driftwood. I have jars and baskets filled with these treasures, and I love using them as subjects in my photos.

Having this Etsy shop is a dream come true. I love everything about it: taking the photos and processing them, packaging them to send to customers and making my shop a place people want to visit.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Eco & Refined Handknits, For A Greener Life On Our Beautiful Planet

Living in a cold region can be very inspiring ! I began to handknit simply because I couldn't find any toasty accessories for the winter, in organic pure new wool !

Then, I made summer accessories : some organic cotton versatile jewelry and some organic cotton cowls...

And finally, some funny litlle handknits like my pixie's hat egg warmers or my chair socks !

And I love & wear everything I create ! I hope you will too !

I began painting after my brain got 'dented' in a car accident in January, 2010. At first, I wasn't able to read or write, and eventually taught myself to paint. My painting has helped me recover thus far. Ain't Life grand?!

Thorns Have Roses. . .

A brain injury received in a car accident in January, 2000, led to my learning to paint, and has been a blessing in many ways. After the accident, my "brain dents" left me unable to read or write. (I prefer the term "brain dents" instead of "brain injury" because it's much less frightening and off-putting). 

During my rehab, my wonderful husband began to bring me flower magazines so I could look at the “pretty pictures,” which inspired me to learn to garden. Sometimes, understanding the directions on the seed packets took longer than planting the seeds. I couldn’t always garden, but simply touching the earth had a very calming effect. At summer’s end, the flowers faded, and I decided to try painting flowers since the Colorado winter was approaching.

I began slowly and one night, I proudly posted a newly-painted rose on the refrigerator and asked my son what it looked like. When he replied, “It’s a red rose,” I was so excited — just like a kindergartner! Sometimes I still get discouraged from the brain dents but the creative process and tactile nature of painting has been an important part of my recovery thus far. 

In 2005, we discovered that the mile-high altitude in Boulder, Colorado was slowing down my recovery, so we moved to Texas and in May 2012, to San Diego.

At last, I am able to focus on my painting and feel proud yet humble to offer you my "Painted Petals." 

As the cartoon character Ziggy said,

“You can complain because roses have thorns, or
You can rejoice because 'thorns' have roses.”

My journey has allowed me to connect with some wonderful people over the years. To me, painting is a deeply personal expression, and I take great care to do my very best on each piece I paint, from prep to shipping. I usually listen to music (Sarah MacLaughlan, Nora Jones, Etta James) and think about the person who will receive my newest painted piece, and envision them opening the package and watching their expression. I am wonderfully blessed and feel joy when I say, "Aint Life grand!"
