The Portland Bazaar 2012
Just got back from Portland last night after a great experience this weekend. Both Brad from Capricorn Bicycles and I displayed work together at a holiday show. I spotted a number of my Camper Satchels from last year. Thanks PDX! You all are great! www.portlandbazaar.com
Summer Hikes and Sketchbooks
I recently biked out to a peak near Eugene with my sketchbook. After climbing to the top I took some time to sit with my sketchbook, eat a bit of almond cake and draw out some ideas.
Ringing in a new decade…
Last week I celebrated my 30th birthday with Brad at Smith Rock State Park in the high desert of Oregon. It was quite lovely.
Opening night at Beam & Anchor
Yesterday Brad and I made a quick little road trip up to Portland for the opening of a new shop called Beam & Anchor. I have a few backpacks and some lunch sacks on display. The trip began with a detour through the Hoyt Arboretum to see some trees. The trails took us through a [...]

Bringing home the bacon
Before I moved to Eugene a few months ago, I decided to sell my car. I thought it would be difficult transporting supplies by bicycle but it has proven to be a piece of cake. This morning I had to ride over to the leather shop to purchase a large hide of Latigo leather. The [...]
The Portland Bazaar

Snow Hike in the Menagerie Wilderness
Today Brad and I hiked to the top of Rooster Rock at 3600 ft (ie. not the Rooster rock that is a nude beach on the Columbia River). It was a rainy and cloudy day but it turned out to be just lovely. The climb was quite strenuous at times but made for a great [...]
At 7am I hiked up to Skinner Butte
It was an early morning for me. Woken up by a hungry cat, I had already had my coffee by 5:45am. I decided to ride my bicycle to the river and climb Skinner Butte. At the top I overlooked all of Eugene on a rainy morning but for a sliver of time the sun peeked [...]
Journey to a new home
This last week has been exhausting, challenging, rewarding and exciting all at once. I try to use this blog to only write about my current projects but the last week has been such a change that I thought it would be appropriate to bring people up to speed on my change of [...]
Heartland Velo
This last weekend Brad and I filled up a large conversion van and headed down to Madison, Wisconsin for a bicycle show called Heartland Velo. It was indeed a success! It was a pleasure to meet so many dedicated makers and enthusiasts alike.
My Wisconsin Homeland
A few days ago I began my solo journey out east to Rosendale, New York for an artist fellowship at the Women’s Studio Workshop. Here are a few photos driving down to Milwaukee from Minneapolis on a sunny Friday.
