I live in the Puget Sound region of Washington state and spend most of my spare time outdoors with my family. My sketchbook is my 11th essential, joining me on every backpacking trip and many other adventures. I primarily paint in watercolor but enjoy expanding my knowledge and exploring other mediums and techniques.

Nature and art are a combination that allows me to slow down and take in all of the details surrounding me. I invite everyone to consider bringing a medium that speaks to you outdoors and see what you notice.
