I am an artist. A Perfumer. I perfume because I have always loved the natural scents on the wind, over the water, in the trees.....

​

I have an awesome family that is very supportive and close. We all love nature and creating. I've studied writing, aromatherapy, furniture refinishing, restoration of dolls and porcelain, perfumery, a bit of botany the old way ( while I lived in Alaska by hiking and researching every plant!)  and many creative arts. I've worked in banking, health care, sales, had an antique furniture shop with family and friends, had a refinishing business, worked briefly for the film industry, made chandeliers, pillows, shabby and chic style, sachets and soaps and sold them on Ebay and Etsy. During all that, I have been a lover of scent. I have been perfuming for several years now and have many other interests and hobbies including making weird dolls.

​

I'm one of those people that used to sniff every perfume, every candle in the store, probably much to the annoyance of whom ever I was with (except my younger sister who also joined in). I just had to know what everything smelled like. Are you this way too? picking up everything from candles to flowers, soaps, fruits and veggies just to detect their scent?  you may be a budding perfumer or aromatherapist in the making!

Having lived in B.C., summered at the beach in Washington, traveled the west with family, lived briefly in Colorado, five years in Alaska, and live in the inland North West, primitive nature is something I know, and can't live without. The lushness of these places is reflected in my creative work. But, I do love visiting the big cities for their culture and most importantly, my wonderful family. I grew up in the Vancouver area of B.C.

My current abode is a 100 year old house on a property we've planted new fruit trees on, a maple, plus a natural garden including wildflowers, wild rose, lemonbalm, comfrey, sages and more.  The area around here is lush with forests, lakes, rivers and abundant flora and fauna. I harvest from the forests when I can. I collected Alpine sap last summer which was used in a tincture and infusion for a couple of current perfumes. This year I collected Grand Fir and created a gorgeous oil and tincture. Our lavender is getting out of hand so there will be new tincture this year. The bunnies we love will enjoy it too, along with everything else in the garden!

 

The fragrances of the forests, meadows and farmlands permeate here, and are amazing. There are great fields of grass in summer, the roads are lined with daisies and wild flowers, tall grasses and the rivers are clean, clear, and abundant with fish. The Cottonwood and Alder in the Spring smell amazing, the Fir and Pine all year long.... and the abundant cedar and pine that surround us, after a hot Summer day, fill the air with amazing scent. If only to capture some of the unique scents out there in the wild but alas, not everything can be bottled.
In Fall and Winter, the fog, the snow, the hanging mist on the forest, is beautiful and has it's own scents.

​

I have a home perfumery where I study and make perfumes, and an office where I can sit and work on the website and package up the goodies. 

​

 The natural and organic oils I purchase support sustainable agricultural. I make infusions and tincture from my own wild garden and the Forests of the Pacific North West and Inland Pacific.  

My perfumes are cruelty free.

Thank you for visiting!
