Welcome! I’m Kristin Haakenson, an artist & farmer based in the Pacific Northwest. My whimsical, nostalgic art explores how flora & fauna tell the stories of different places, times, and seasons.

“Landscape is not matter nor merely nature, rather it enjoys a luminosity. Landscape is numinous. Each field has a different name, and in each place something different happened. Landscape has a secret and silent memory, a narrative of presence where nothing is ever lost or forgotten.”
– JOHN O’DONOHUE, ANAM CARA
I am going to my own hearth-stone,
Bosomed in yon green hills alone, —
A secret nook in a pleasant land,
Whose groves the frolic fairies planned;
Where arches green, the livelong day,
Echo the blackbird’s roundelay,
And vulgar feet have never trod
A spot that is sacred to thought and God.
– RALPH WALDO EMERSON, “GOOD-BYE”
