Overview
About Me
I grew up on an island. Being surrounded by the water and the wonders of our natural world inspired me to become an artist and explorer, sharing the intimate connection I have with the world with others through my art of cartography, or map-making.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My work relies on my ability to travel and see new places to gain perspective on the diversity of our planet. My interest is in the land, but also in the human element, how people relate to the land around them. I love sharing stories with people about their places and integrating that with my artwork.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In 2012 I made a giant map of my home, Fidalgo Island. I spent six months exploring, mapping, and detailing, then shared the work through public viewings and by selling prints and artwork at the farmers market.
Teach, Learn, Share
The natural world is magic, and we are part of it.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I care very much about food - how it's made, where it comes from, and how it feeds us. I am a big believer in food as art, art you can eat! I'm also known to leave gifts in the form of natural objects from my collections and travels.
