Finding INSPIRATION in Northern Virginia's exquisite beauty...

Hello from this lovely neck of the woods!
After a few years of wanderings with the goal of finding the next phase of my journey, I am taking some small new steps. A Bird Shop has made it's way onto this website and I will be teaching the occasional class in the community. I remain committed to finding ways to share the joy of creating and my art in the community, as well as connecting with other local artists and nature enthusiasts. I'm delighted to participate in the Waterford Fair the past few years and will be joining the Loudoun Appalachian Trail Festival in Hillsboro on June 7th.

​Journeys Thrive pages will remain on the site so they remain accessible, but I will not actively compile more resources for those pages at this point in time.

If you're local - reach out! I'd love to hear from you, and/or if you have some favorite resources you want to share, contact me! I'm always on the lookout for information and inspiration :).

Let's explore together!
