After over 30 years in Alaska, I and my husband sold our bookstore in 2017 and moved to Fidalgo Island, Washington, to become full-time artists and writers. I am an active outdoorswoman, and the Alaska wilderness still resonates and reverberates deep within me, as do all aspects of Alaskan culture. Bidden or unbidden, these influences arise in my calling as artist, poet, helper, storyteller.
