"For me the door to the woods is the door to the temple." - Mary Oliver

WELCOME
At the heart of my website is a passion for exploring, creating, and sharing. After two years of quiet, this space is coming alive again as I dedicate myself to sharing the wisdom, tips, and inspiration I’ve gained through my adventures hiking, camping, and kayaking in southeastern state parks.
This is also a space where nature meets creativity. As an artist, I aspire to bring the beauty of the outdoors into everyday life through unique, nature-inspired art and goods.
My vision is to cultivate a community of fellow explorers, dreamers, and creators—offering resources, inspiration, and meaningful handmade products that reflect the wonder of the natural world. This is only the beginning of what I hope will be a journey of discovery, creativity, and connection.
