Second Nature Studio grew from a lifelong habit of outdoor observation—the small shifts, textures, and fleeting moments in the natural world that can be easily missed.

Working primarily in acrylic, and increasingly incorporating hand sewing and layered elements, I create one-of-a-kind pieces shaped by time outdoors and the quiet resilience of nature across the seasons.

The work is meant to catch your eye, slow you down, and make it second nature to pause and look closer.
