Fascinated by nature from an early age, I grew up to become an exuberant gardener of flowers, vegetables, fruits, and herbs. A November birthday intensified the gloom that followed losing the colors of the garden to browns and grays. Learning to dry flowers and preserve a little of summer's beauty seemed a touch magical. That was decades ago, thousands of flowers ago, many walks on the beaches and in the woods ago, and then I discovered the wonders of working with resin. My natural treasures, both homegrown and foraged, become inclusions in my unique, one-of-a-kind creations. All flowers, foliage, fungi, biological elements, and beach stones used in the creation of Naturism products are grown, or gathered (with joy) in Michigan.
