What “Alaska Lifestyle” Means Here
Alaska, to me, is a practice. It’s the way fog lifts off the channel at sunrise, the crack of ice across a glacier, the ritual of a warm mug after coming in from the wind. This page is your compass: the best of my travel guides, photo stories, tea rituals, and the small, at-home choices that help you live a little more wild and a lot more present.

Bring the Feeling Home
Alaska Artwork
The pieces I reach for when I want the room to breathe like the coast.
Glacier Blue Study — serene, minimal, crisp.
Eagle at Dawn — a quiet strength piece for an office or entryway.
Tundra Light — warm neutrals, soft texture.
Alaska Tea Co
Small-batch blends inspired by the places I love.
Aurora Chai (Black) — spiced warmth for cold nights.
Wildflower Tundra (Ceylon) — bright, floral lift.
Mint Glacier Medley (Sencha) — crisp, clean, clarifying.
If you want a small piece of that feeling on your wall, I created a limited edition print collection called Alaska’s Grandeur and Magnificence—Alaska landscape prints where humans, cabins and seals look tiny inside the wild. Explore the collection here.
