Nature’s palette often provides the colourful inspiration for many of her artistic endeavours, and Katie LOVES colour. Never able to settle on one style of art for very long, she is constantly exploring new artistic avenues. But one thing that has remained consistent her whole life is her need to create, and throughout all she does, her work remains colourful and fueled by the amazing things she sees around her.  Current interests include fiber arts, leather work, photography, woodworking and shiny things.

Katie also has a vested interest in herbs and makes her own teas and body products with many of her own homegrown ingredients, under the moniker Witch of the Woods Apothecary. She started making her own products many years ago after a doctor told her she was a horrible mother because she didn’t want to just slather a pile of steroid cream on her son’s eczema, wanting to know WHY it was happening, not just masking the problem. After a bit of research and opening her heart up to the gifts Nature provides, she cured her son’s eczema in 2 weeks by eliminating reactive foods and with her own salves and teas. And Katie believes that tea should be functional, but it can be colourful, too! After much prodding from friends and family, she has chosen her most popular blends and products to share with you.

Katie lives on a farm with her husband, 2 dogs, a cat, a horse, several chickens, 4 pet frogs, and thanks Creator every day for the experience.
