I've been an illustrator of animals and nature for as long as I can remember. Wander into in my shop and you will discover animals like foxes, hedgehogs, bears and beavers, as well as beautiful plants and insects. They all dance together to create whimsical nature mandalas and motifs you will thoroughly enjoy decorating and crafting with!
I have been in love with the natural world since I was a child, and they remain my biggest source of artistic inspiration, finding their ways into almost everything I create. The ideas for many of the designs you'll find here began as I spent a summer outdoors with my (then) 2 year old son collecting leaves, flowers, acorns, rocks, mushrooms and twigs from around our yard. As he played, I would sit and watch, and arrange our treasures into pretty patterns and mandalas. It became a relaxing, meditative practice that I looked forward to and documented with photos. As the weather turned to winter, my indoor sketches took me back outdoors to those warm days and nature mandalas as I drew the designs that would later become the artwork in this shop. Just as each animal and leaf in nature is different and unique, each piece of each picture I drew is unique as well. I loved finding a special pose and personality for each creature and slightly different bend or shape in each leaf or branch I drew. I hope you will see the magic in our natural surroundings through these pictures and enjoy each one as much as I enjoyed drawing it.

My wish is that my artwork will bring the magic of nature and joy into your home!
