About Me

I rent a quaint jenky little farmhouse on an agroforestry farm with a fruit and nut orchard, access to a private lake. I live with my spunky 2 year old dog, Apple, and my overly friendly barn cat, Eno. I work in furniture finishing on a regular 7-4 schedule but spend my free time gardening, cooking, dabbling in crafts and arts and writing, and learning how to compose soundscapes. I thoroughly enjoy critical, deep and open minded conversations about art and creativity, spirituality and philosophy, and ecology and conservation, over a scrumptious home cooked meal, better yet- a feast!
I get excited about creative projects and planning/hosting unique house events to share those projects at.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived off the grid on an island in Southeast Alaska for the autumn months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have over 15 years in organic farming and landscaping under my belt and close to 6 years of Furniture Finishing accomplished. I’m deft at crafts, and have a background in ceramics and poetry writing. Learning how to make soundscapes, curious about costume making and stagecraft.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Shared house with shared living space, kitchen and a bathroom with a hot water shower and a compost toilette. I have two private guestrooms each with a queen bed. 32 acre agroforestry orchard to meander and access to a private lake to swim in. I enjoy cooking but encourage and love collaborative meals.
