About Me

My photo
Helen
Upstate, SC, United States
I am a freelance writer/illustrator and regular contributor to the Wildlife in North Carolina magazine. I also do portraits of children, and teach weekly nature journaling classes in and around my studio in the woods. I teach seasonal workshops on Nature Journaling at our public garden, Hatcher Garden & Woodland Preserve. In the past I have led workshops for all ages, from elementary to college classes, from young adults to retirement groups. I live with my husband, two dogs Daisy and Duke, and two cats in a house called Middlewood. The house is surrounded by my perennial garden, a little grass, and acres of forest. I love wandering in the woods, or hiking on the pipeline that runs near the house (see pic below). I work in a small studio nestled in the trees behind the house.
