This blanket is inspired by the long sand dunes that run down past Manzanita to the mouth of Nehalem bay. The soft greens intermixed with stark white are meant to symbolize the American Beach Grass that covers these dunes and sway in the wind on a bright afternoon.

One of our most rugged beaches, and a very popular surfing destination, Short Sands is a pure expression of the unique beauty found here. The purple and brown represent the old-growth Sitka Spruce that reach the tower above as you walk the beach trail. The white and gray show the mist and fog as it lingers through the ancient canopy.

The Skipanon is a lesser known tributary of the Columbia River with striking beauty. Each color on this blanket takes from an aspect of the river. Dark blue for the deep water that flows from the Columbia, brown for the mud flats at its mouth, sand for the dunes that comprises the banks, and black as it winds through dense coastal forest.

Youngs Bay is a body of water at the head of the Youngs river, another tributary of the mighty Columbia. The royal blue hues emulate the deep river channels that are often glassy on a high tide. The fade into black is for the surrounding mountains that are best described in a 1869 survey: "immediately behind it the land is high, dark, and densely wooded"

I have been crafting as long as I have been making memories. Growing up with artists made for a space that I could explore my many interests in art. My father taught me to tie flies when I was seven and I begged my mom to let me help her make afghans.
As I grew older I continued to try various mediums including watercolor, acrylic paint, paper making and many textile arts.
I made art in my childhood bedroom, then my apartment living room. For a couple years I made my pieces out of a collaborative art studio in NE Portland. I later had a private studio on the Columbia river and now I call my home the Oregon Coast and create out of my home studio.
Crochet is a craft that I have revisited throughout my whole life, it is something that has always stuck while trying new things. It is a place of comfort for me as well as a way to make both expressive and functional art.
My inspiration to make blankets came from the feeling of comfort to be cozy in my Warrenton home on stormy days.
I hope to bring you a heavy sense of care in my art. I want to share warmth, nostalgia, rest, and comfort in my blankets.
Our own storefront is opening soon on the Oregon Coast. Stay tuned for updates.
