Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved walking the shores of Lake Superior in the Keweenaw Peninsula of northern Michigan, searching for the most beautiful stones I could find.

​

 

I continue to collect stones today and paint them, using nature as my muse. I draw inspiration from the beauty around me - sunsets over Lake Superior, bonfires on the Eagle Harbor beach, waves crashing onto the sandy shores of Great Sand Bay, Aurora Borealis, fluorescent sodalite stones (AKA "Yooperlites"), dense green forests, glowing fall colors, and star-filled night skies.

 

 

Each stone is personally hand picked from local beaches - including Cat Harbor, Great Sand Bay and McLain Park - and hand painted by me using richly colored water soluble acrylic paints. Each stone is one of a kind, completely unique, and perfectly imperfect just like nature.

 

 

I've spent my summers in Eagle Harbor, MI - my happy place - every summer since I was one year old.
