Biography

I want to share this gift, this world we have. I propose to explore a lexicon of outdoor life (native living beings, from lichen to birds to reindeer), combining places I’ve lived and languages represented therein (Sámi, Norwegian, Native American, English). Research cultural and linguistic similarities and differences. Learn practices of storytelling and knowledge sharing. I wish to weave these stories together in an illustrated book, a walk through the woods where worlds meet
