Beyond Pine

Beyond Pine Beyond Pine is rooted in connection — to land, memory, and meaningful living.

Inspired by life on the Northern plains, I create story-driven artwork for fabric, wallpaper, and products designed to bring beauty and feeling into everyday spaces.

When we were kids, we walked 3 miles to meet each other halfway.

Not because it was close — but because distance didn’t matter yet.

We weren’t thinking about time.

We were thinking about what the day might hold.

Blue jay eggs tucked carefully into little hands.
Rocks collected for Grandma.
Strawberries. Homemade forts.
Playing house outside until someone finally called us in.

This is where Prairie Pockets began.

Not in patterns.

In the quiet treasures children carry home — and the kind of childhood that teaches you how to notice.

What’s something you used to bring home in your pockets?

Why do children’s clothes have pockets?

To carry the treasures of the day.

A rock from the driveway.
A feather found in the ditch.
A flower picked too early.
Something muddy. Something forgotten.
Something important only to them.

Prairie Pockets is a children’s fabric collection inspired by growing up on the Northern Plains — and the quiet little things we choose to carry with us.

I’ll be sharing the process as I build this collection for an upcoming fabric art call. Day one begins with gathering inspiration.

What did you always carry home in your pockets as a kid?

Small things I remember become simple sketches, then slowly transform into patterns and Patterns become products.

Most collections begin this way — little fragments of ordinary moments, shapes I can’t quite let go of.

Story-driven surface pattern design. Available for licensing + collaboration.

There are freedoms we grow up with before we fully understand them.

Paper flags. Bikes left in the yard. Summer evenings that feel endless. As children, we remember the joy of July before we understand the meaning behind it.

Big Sky July is a collection shaped by gratitude — for ordinary moments, open skies, and the people whose sacrifice helps make everyday life possible.

Rooted in memory and the Northern Plains.

Lately I’ve been thinking about what shapes the work I create.

Not trends. Not strategy.

Mostly —Children who notice small things. Flowers picked with dirty hands. Time outside. Land that teaches patience. Work that keeps us grounded. Faith that quietly reminds me there is meaning in ordinary things.

I think the things we create eventually become reflections of what we pay attention to.

These are some of the things shaping mine.

A piece of my life.
I’m not the perfectly curated designer in a white studio. I’m a mother, ranch woman, artist, and business owner — and when an idea hits, it usually happens in the middle of real life. Supper on the stove, a messy counter, and an idea I couldn’t ignore.

Today I was thinking about the freedoms we enjoy, and somehow that led me deeper into the meaning of the Fourth of July.

I’ve never had much for seasonal décor in that season, but I got a wild hair and my hand started moving.

Still just sketches, but this one feels a little different. More than summer or a holiday… it feels a bit like respect.

Girlhood began as memory.

I thought I was creating from moments I once lived — long summer nights, open space, scraped knees, freedom, imagination.

But somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn’t only remembering my childhood.

I was watching it happen again.

The same land. New little footsteps. Different laughter, but the same kind of wonder.

This collection is rooted in those small moments that shape us — movement, play, resilience, imagination, and the quiet beauty of growing up wild and free.

Girlhood — now available for licensing.

In the 1930s in the United States, sacks containing flour and grain were made of cloth, primarily cotton. The Kansas Wheat company, in the midst of the Great Depression, realized that the poorest families were reusing them to sew dresses for women and girls, so to make them more captivating they decided to print them with floral and colorful motifs.

The initiative was a huge success: they made sure that the ink used for the logos would fade after a simple wash, and some bags even had the patterns already drawn on the fabric, ready to be cut and sewn.

A marketing tactic that helped American families get through a particularly difficult period, also useful as a source of income for women who would later sell their recycled models.

I was raised — where stillness carves space for imagination. That place is where Beyond Pine was born.
