Hey ya’ll! Welcome to my little corner of cyberspace.

A bit about myself….

My name is Meg and I am a forty-something living in a sleepy little town in northern Michigan, near the shores of Lake Michigan. I always say that when I grow up I am going to move to the big city, but where I call home feeds my soul and my need for quiet places and open spaces.

I live here with my dog Penny, who has a wild, free spirit and lives life believing everyone is her best friend. She’s also my hiking partner and loves to explore the woods near our house, smelling all the smells and occasionally chasing after a squirrel or two. 

Northern Plume started as a way to share my art with the world, but really it has become a place to gather all the things I love to make, notice, and explore.

I have always been making things. As a kid, I had my nose buried in a coloring book or daydreaming about characters for stories I never really got around to writing. These days you’ll most likely find me doodling in the margins of my meeting notes, carrying a sketchbook with me everywhere I go, experimenting with my watercolor paints, or surrounded by entirely too much yarn.

Northern Plume is my little corner of the internet for all of it – the art I make, the trails I wander, the projects I start (and sometimes finish), recipes worth making again, and whatever else catches my eye along the way.

Think of it as a digital journal of a creative, slightly eclectic life.

I’m glad you found your way here.
