The Ever Repentant Tree Hugger

A blog about my efforts to go green, my gardening successes and mishaps and my passion for perennial, pollinator friendly plants.

I'm a surface pattern designer and illustrator who lives and works in Boise, Idaho. My distinctive personal style reflects my graphic design background and celebrates nature through the artful reimagining of floral and animal shapes.

Native plants and flowers, animals, and organic shapes are all brought to life with contrasting and harmonious colors and bold compositions. 

“Beautiful shape-making is key when I create my patterns. I strive to bring out the symmetries and lovely negative spaces in my work.”
