Growing up in Minnesota, I was fascinated with the nature of the Pacific Northwest. I was always interested in exploring the large scale of the ocean and the redwoods.
My family took a few trips out to the coast, and I loved being able to revisit certain places as I got older and have continued to explore new ones.
Something about the wind and noise of the ocean right next to the quiet peacefulness of the tall trees always felt very calm–one space to get lost in the noise and another to find myself in the stillness.
