Artist, author, Minnesota master naturalist, science communicator, presenter, and lover of nature and life, I am based in Aitkin MN doing business as Otter Creations.
View my 2D work in oil, silk painting, acrylic and watercolor.
Currently I am giving presentations on my newest book, Tree Trek, a mixture of science communication and art in the context of navigating grief. Contact me for info. on an art/science nature presentation at your meeting, library, bookstore or other venue. MEDIA KIT here.
I also lead Tree Trek educational events in St. Paul's Como Park.
In between, I write a nature blog called Morning Walk Report.
Art reminds us of what it is to be living, feeling creatures connected to the shared experience of being human in this world, on this earth. My goal in creating is to show something deeper, to convey what lies beneath. We may get art but art, in its turn, must get us!
I believe in the strength and flourishing that comes from allowing your passion, gifts and expression to emerge.
