My business name "Fox & Fables" is inspired after what inspires me and my work! I love the playful nature of fox and other woodland creatures. I also like to think of my illustrations as "visual storytelling" with many whimsical details.

To put it simply: I’m a Minneapolis photographer with a mild obsession with Barbie. Influenced by imagery from the 50s and 60s, I create scenes with the dolls in studio that have a sense of whimsy mixed with a little sarcasm. To me, Barbie is a positive, strong and empowering figure and I try to utilize her to create conversation. And to answer your question, I only have around 40 dolls.

I think what makes my work and experiences compelling is that it's not always just about the planner, the calligraphy, the paint - but what it means about us. I create an experience that helps us find joy in the mess, the difficulty of experimentation and letting go of perfectionism and impatience. There's a story and experience with it.
