My love for creating art from nature began as a child. I would collect a handful of acorns and look carefully at each one, waiting for it to tell me who it wanted to become. With the help of a little yarn, fabric, glue, and paint, these acorns became my “acorn people”. Over the years, my fascination with the beauty and intricacy of nature has continued to grow. Walks in the woods end with pockets full of items that asked me to make them into something new.
