Looking back on 2024: Family Reunion

In May of 2024, I was able to take a trip back to Germany for a family reunion. I wrote the following Sunday Letters about my experience reconnecting with memories, places, and people. This past week has seemed like a…
Thank Yous, Behind the Scenes, and Delicious Meals

I have just returned from bringing my work directly to clients at shows in Vancouver, Calgary, Halifax and Toronto by way of CircleCraft Market, Calgary Art Market, and a Pop-Up at Toronto’s shopAGO. As always, it was delightful to speak…
Thanks and see you soon – across Canada

Dear WestVan, thank you for having me. The annual Harmony Arts Festival is just such a joy ! I remember the first time I was invited to participate in this wonderful event – and what a delight it has been,…
Family Reunion in Europe

If I begin at the beginning, I will say that I was born in Munich, and that my family later moved to the Allgäu region of Bavaria, southwest of Munich, near the famous Neuschwanstein Castle (which is not all it’s…
Europe Trip, Part One: Markets and Walks

As some of you might know, I went to Austria and Germany this past December. I thought I’d share a bit about that adventure here. As I am writing, I realize that this trip was so rich, I will tell…

Exhale

Vancouver, Toronto, Halifax

Ah, it’s that time of year again: time to bring the pieces I make out of the studio, and meet my clients in person at shows, Coast to Coast. This year, I will have 3 stops: Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax. …
Thank you, Vancouver!
