I am a contemporary Renaissance woman, living on my family’s regenerative farm, nestled in the forests of northern Wisconsin. As a lifelong learner of progressive and alternative paths—Montessori, Dewey, Steiner, Unschooling, Pitkin—I bring this passion for exploration, digging deeper, and reconnecting fractured pieces together into a beautiful web of meaning making. My collegeate journey includes a BA in Creative Writing and Performing Arts from Vermont College of UI&U and an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from Godard College. I come from a line of healers, teachers, and farmers of Germanic, Scandinavian, and Celtic descent—worlds which intersect and overlap within my writing and storytelling as well. Infused with a love of nature and dedication to stewarding the earth, my story weaving wends tales that cross worlds and explore the complexities of the human experience, deepened by historical understanding and the long memories of myth. As a contemporary bard/scald—performative storyteller, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and balladeer—I blend the verbal and visual as well through my fiber artistry and designs. This journey truly is a tapestry of experiences and expressiveness, deepend through a mindful practice of compassion and observation. Welcome to my enchanted world. Step inside. The stories await.
