I thrive when I\u2019m surrounded by friends, strangers, or anyone with a good story to share. I suppose you could say I\u2019m a curious mix of high-energy creativity, homegrown chaos, and love when I can find time to explore new places, especially cute little coffee shops, bookstores, and local eateries.

Next, I needed to figure out how I could fund a trip to NYC to claim my free museum tickets and swag. That is when I started to pursue selling my artwork.

I was just an assistant that shelved books, helped patrons and helped with story time. Unlike most every other job I have had, I just worked the hours I was scheduled. I still got to help people, but I didn\u2019t have to think about work after hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I love libraries and everything about them from the free resources to the classes to the community that is built within them. I would love to work in a library again someday!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-21059 size-full alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DriftlessArt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DriftlessArt.jpg 400w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DriftlessArt-222x300.jpg 222w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DriftlessArt-370x500.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>How did the pandemic affect YOU or YOUR BUSINESS here in the Driftless? <\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I have always enjoyed creating art, but as an adult I didn\u2019t have a lot of time to create between family and work life until the pandemic happened. When everything shut down I was the Managing Director of a community arts school and I conveniently needed to help host a bunch of online visual art classes, so I had the opportunity to learn new skills and benefited from the community that was being formed. To this day, nearly 5 years later there is still a doodling group that formed during the pandemic that meets weekly online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">In 2020 during the height of COVID lockdown\u2019s I was also the lucky recipient of a grant from Springboard for the Arts which allowed me to carry out my Sharing Creativity project. The goal of the Sharing Creativity project was to combat isolation, while also providing supplies and a bit of instruction to get the community engaged and creating. Over 50 participants received a free bag with art supplies and an instruction packet to help them create 4 projects that are designed to help them connect, create, &amp; spread joy. The participants ranged in age from toddlers to older adults, hailed from Winona, MN and the greater Winona area including St. Charles, Dakota, Fountain City, WI, Galesville, WI, La Crosse, WI &amp; Minnesota City, MN and also include participants from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hco.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Home &amp; Community Options<\/a> (an organization that works with adults with disabilities), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/p\/Winona-Friendship-Center-100069828780071\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Winona Friendship Center<\/a> (a senior center), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectfine.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Project FINE<\/a> (a local organization that welcomes immigrant families).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second project was \u201cKindness Rocks\u201d with the object of decorating rocks for others to discover in public spaces as well as tips on sharing and searching for rocks through in Winona County through a Facebook group, The third project was &#8220;Whimsical Postcards\u201d in which each participant was provided postcard blanks to decorate and encouraged to send them to a long-lost friend, a relative, a teacher, a medical professional or hand in the cards to me so I could pass them along to The Winona Friendship Center so they could send it along to an older adult who could use a smile. The final project was to decorate a quilt square to contribute to a \u201ccommunity quilt\u201d that was then returned to me via a no contact drop off, assembled, showed off during a Zoom and finally given to a lucky participant whose name was drawn.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During and after the project I loved hearing the stories about how people left surprise notes on a friend\u2019s car, tried a new art supply, or spent time with a family member creating.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This project helped me stay connected, meet new community members and explore the power of visual arts both as a way to connect and as a way to escape even during the most challenging times. As a past theatre professional and arts administrator I had experienced the impact of live performing arts and in-person classes but COVID provided new challenges, especially for performing arts. I had been a longtime dabbler in visual arts, but it was in 2020 that I really became hooked and four years later I still find that my two favorite things about being an artist is that the time creating is one of the only times that I am able to fully relax and get into a state of flow and I love the connections I have made. I constantly find myself connecting with new people from small business owners who I have created pieces for, other artists at meet-ups, and even passersby who stop to visit when I am plein air (painting outside).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-21061 size-full alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PearlStreet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PearlStreet.jpg 400w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PearlStreet-261x300.jpg 261w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>What is another name you would give the Driftless?<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Midwest Shire (home of the hobbits in JR Tolkien\u2019s books), because of the friendliness, the luscious green spaces, and the bluffs remind me of the misty mountains when they are covered with fog in the fall.
