Artphoria Studio + Garden was born out of the idea that creativity can be a lifestyle. It is the intersection of Art in all its forms and functions with the infinitely interesting world that is outside.
The Artphoria Studio + Garden is an environment where children and adults alike can freely explore plant care and making with their hands under the open skies where true inspiration moves as easily through us as the breeze.
For the past 4 year I've done this through themed studies each month while combining gardening tasks and projects with unique art experiences and play.
As I move forward in 2024, I am excited to share my years of experience working magic in the garden as I officially offer my love of garden design with all of you!
I will continue to teach workshops on weekends and over the summer as I follow my creativity wherever it leads!

"Tell me what it is you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
-Mary Oliver-

I am a writer, artist, lover, maker, thinker, gardener, and passionate life-liver. I have many many passions and do my best to live honoring those desires while serving my family and friends in love, time and honesty. I have been homeschooling 1 or more of my children for 8yrs and love living life from the home. We garden, cook real food, keep animals and create daily. I fell in love with the Waldorf Philosophy when discovering Biodynamic Farming practices founded by Steiner. I incorporate Charlotte Mason methodology to our life as well. We live by the heart so before we assimilate new ways into our lives it has to jive with our spirits. Formulas just don't work for our family. Through this practice however we have learned to listen, follow, and trust our inner voice rather than the worlds. I endeavor to live in a way where my children know Me.

I have been sketching, writing and creating since I could breath it feels like and I can’t imagine life without creativity and making. My prayer is that in me sharing, you will be inspired and encouraged on your creative journey of motherhood.

I believe the natural world invites us to join with creation in cultivating, caring, and living intentionally in cooperation with the world around us . Artphoria Studio + Garden is a reflection and a striving to live out this belief .
