It would be simple to say that hiking, camping and the documenting of our outdoor adventures is my only hobby, but alas it is far from it.
​
I am a nature enthusiast who transforms inspiration from the trails less traveled to one of a kind artwork. Through the art of wood burning, the fluidity of paint and the textures of mixed media, I translate a love for the outdoors into unique creations for your home.
About the Artist:
Art has always been part of my personality and my journey into wood burning began when I was unable to find rustic wedding decor that spoke to me. In the years since I first picked up a wood burner as a girl determined to have the perfect nature-inspired cake topper, I’ve expanded my inventory to ornaments, wall decor, signs, coasters and decor, all with an unending inspiration from the great outdoors.
Made with a passion for nature and the beauty that comes from public lands, everything you order from me is handmade and one of a kind.
Explore my nature-inspired collections and let a piece of the wild find its place in your life.

What is The Jealous Pen?
— The Story Behind the Name:
The Jealous Pen was a digital realm initially created for the sole purpose of having an outlet to share my creations on Instagram and grew into an Etsy shop. When it comes to this online presence I’m often asked…”Why ‘The Jealous Pen’?”
Well…I have been a writer my entire life and my pen has always been my constant companion capturing and sharing stories.
My crafting, and in-turn my Etsy shop, is where I put the pen aside to get lost in a different type of creation and focus on artwork beyond the written word.
Thus sparking the envy of The Jealous Pen.
The Process of Ordering Custom Artwork
Ordering custom art can be intimidating or feel stressful, especially if we've never worked together. Fear not! My process is about bringing your vision to life - even if you aren't quite sure what you are looking for.
STEP 1
Brainstorm
It all starts with your vision! Contact me and share your ideas – whether it's a specific landscape, a beloved animal, a favorite book or character, or simply a feeling you want to capture in wood, paint, or mixed media. Reach out and let's begin the conversation about your unique piece.
STEP 2
Design Process
Once we connect and successfully brainstorm your ideas that's when the fun starts. For most pieces, this might involve initial digital mock ups to develop your design idea before it's even started. For painted canvases and mixed media, we'll discuss colors, textures, and the overall mood.
STEP 3
Art Creation
This is where the magic happens and your custom artwork takes form. Wood is carefully burned by hand, and paint is layered to build depth. Every piece is infused with inspiration from the natural world and is 100% created by hand, which means every piece is one of a kind!
