Sunflowers and Hemp Print

Uplifting the industrial hemp conversation, through mixed media, paintings, cloth-art dolls, and education, I am thrilled to fuse a lifetime of embodied experiences into my artwork. From farming hemp to building cannabis artwork, weaving new stories that regenerate the land and human culture is the work I love to share. Living in a small cabin in the Colorado Rockies for over 20 years, I also called Boulder my professional work-home, a good 30 miles through breathtaking canyons and pastoral agriculture lands. Originally I am a southern girl at heart; grew up on a bayou on Florida's west coast in the 1970's and 80's. Spent my coming-of-age years in Atlanta, Georgia; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina, and then back to my home town, Ozona, for a two year stint living between my parents and my maternal grandmother. Headed west in 1999, and can humbly say my roots are still maturing through: parenthood, living in community, and curious creative journeys + endeavors. Like many, I fell in love with art in kindergarten. I also fell hard for dancing - it was seeing West Side Story at that tender age, and gardening with my parents, that set the major themes in my life. Happily those threads are always around me. Through many career incarnations, motherhood, and a few natural disasters, living a creative life close to the land is the sweet spot for me.
