Pine Needles Artist Residency 2023

This summer, I had the honor of spending two weeks on the St. Croix River as Pine Needles Artist in Resident, where I immersed myself in science and nature and the magic of this special place.

Huge thanks to the St. Croix Watershed Research Station and the Science Museum of Minnesota for this amazing program and for making this experience possible!

A canoe was provided, which meant plenty of time on the river!

Little treasures everywhere


The basswood trees bloomed during my stay. The scent was heavenly!


Such an inspiring experience!
