Human. Artist. Mother. Nature-lover.

The past couple of years have brought a lot of change for so many people. My husband, two kiddos and I have relocated to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in Northern California. Thankfully, most of my clients were a long distance away even before the move, and Iā€™m thrilled to be doing work for clients near and far from this beautiful neck of the woods.

Probably one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Worlds within worlds!
Getting up close and personal with two baby sharp-tailed snakes. These little fellers are going right back where I found them, but couldn’t resist the opportunity to give the kiddos a chance to say hi. Still feeling guilty about moving them in

A pretty spectacular view this morning overlooking a blanket of fog above the American River. Driving so much every day is pretty taxing, but moments like these make it feel pretty special.

Is baking a big batch of bagels the Yom Kippur equivalent of counting your chickens before they hatch? Oh, well. I may be mostly godless, but I do believe in bagels. Gmar Chatimah Tovah!
Grateful for the garden. No bumper crops of anything in particular this year, but enough to keep up with, and enough to bring a whole lot of joy.
Fire season has reared its ugly head again, but here is one glorious, shining moment, with clear air, and a nice breeze and the promise of a beautiful, acornful fall and winter ahead. My favorite Canyon Live Oak looks like it’s going to have a
