Hi, I’m Johanna, I live in New Hampshire with my husband, two children, and black cat.

While I have lived in a number of places, I have deep roots in northern New England and the Canadian maritimes. Due to this, I have a strong preference for foggy places by the ocean.

Making art is in my blood. Creativity, design, and imagination were all integral parts of my upbringing. These took shape in how I was allowed to have free range of my mother’s craft supplies (except her good sewing scissors), and how I was exposed to the crafts of my grandmothers, seeing how they made their worlds more beautiful despite their humble means.

I strive to share my passion while keeping things down to earth. All too often our culture makes art lofty and pretentious. I have seen first hand how places and spaces can be made beautiful with intentionality and elbow grease instead of a big price tag. Art is for everyone!

Aside from the inspiration of my mother and grandmothers, artists like Beatrix Potter, Maud Lewis, Graciela Iturbide, and Frida Kahlo all contribute to my eclectic style. Nature will always be what inspires me most to create.
