Join the movement at Early on, growing up in Minnesota, her family took lots of trips into the woods of the midwest for hunting and fishing expeditions. A crucial moment happened in her 16th year when she was reluctantly hunting with her father. She had always been a good shot with a gun, having taken Firearm Safety classes in 6th grade with “all the boys”, as she was an eternal tomboy growing up. But she didn’t actually want to shoot anything, let alone a bright eyed deer. She was close with her father and rarely stood up to him, but this November day in the woods she saw two beautiful doe walk across her line of sight. Reading “Catcher in the Rye” in her treestand, she looked at them with her heart racing, glanced at the gun, and thought “there’s no way I’m killing these animals”. She had to take a stance and tell her father “no”. Later, he found out and said “honey, you don’t have to kill a deer, it’s a hard thing to do, a lot of people can’t do it or won’t do it for many reasons”. In this moment she felt closer than ever to her dad, and she was relieved he didn’t push her to hunt any longer. Her father passed away in 2023 and to this day Featherpistol feels strongly that he is with her whenever she’s in the woods. Now, she considers herself a middle aged activist artist. She stages pole art performances, photoshoots, and video shoots to express her critique of this plastic-riddled world. At 42, she has followed her fire for travel, art and knowledge and lived all over the world - and is now quite happily settled in Tahoe with her little family. Having resided in Los Angeles, Florence Italy, London and San Francisco, Featherpistol has spread her wings and explored what excites her and is now quite content to be living in the mountains.
