I have drawn from colors and imagery that remind me of that magical time.

Naughty Birds Collection

I love to plant for our native birds. Sunflowers, native flowering plants and fruits are a delight for our birds. Without birds, many of our plants would not survive as the birds help to disperse the seeds across the landscape. This is a hand-drawn celebration of the wonderful relationship between birds and our gardens and landscapes.

Koi Garden Collection

Modern Paisleys

Hand-drawn, whimsical paisley reminds me of my teens in the late 60's/early 70's. There is something so romantic and timeless about them. I am sure I have had at least a dozen pairs of paisley, bell-bottomed corduroy pants in my lifetime! I have rendered this collection in global colors to accentuate their universal appeal.

High Summer Garden Collection

As a gardener, it is a great joy to watch as the garden matures from its early Spring exuberance into the deepened colors and full-blown flowers of late Summer. The birds gather on drooping sunflower heads to nibble oil rich seeds. The Milkweeds open their orange, yellow and white flowers and the Monarch larvae emerge to eat the leaves. Cattails burst out of their velvety brown skins and leaves begin to fall to the ground, along with half-eaten fruits. It is a time of abundance and busy preparation for Winter.

Combinations are assembled as protection and wishes for good health and a trouble-free life. With rich colors the mood of mythological mystery is set. A great collection for wallpapers, home decor, quilting and garments.

An English Garden Collection

Every piece of the garden has a purpose and a role in the overall health & function of the system, just as we each do. What we see as beauty is a thriving ecosystem that supports the world, in its small way, to the extent that we steward overall health & happiness.

A hand-drawn collection of flowers I have loved over my many years as a fine gardener. Butterflies & hummingbirds found their way in to sip nectar.

Popping Peonies Collection

The peonies are definitely the Queen of my gardens, even though they are not native to the United States and most of my garden is planted in native, pollinator plants. For the outstandingly gorgeous plants, I make exceptions. 

Peonies with their rich, romantic, and utterly feminine colors hold court in the early Summer months. Hand-drawn in this collection, inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement of the early 1900's, and set on deliciously rich backgrounds.

What inspires me is living my life attentive to the beauty of the natural world around me & translating that into functional pieces that bring nature into our daily lives. My gardens and their ever-changing shapes, colors and smells, my dog Hoku, my sister and partner, my best friend Coca, the butterflies and birds that visit my garden, stunning skies over the mesas, the Great Horned Owl hooting in our Maple tree and the Coyotes calling out over the canyons...these things bring me joy. They find their way into my heart and thereby into my art. I hope that the things I create will bring you joy every time you wear or use them. 

There is endless beauty and, thus, endless inspiration and reasons to be grateful, every day.
