Hi! I’m Erin, the writer and painter behind Unbound Roots – a site that resulted from my passion for gardening, painting, writing, experiential learning, research, and sharing. I enjoy sharing heart-warming stories of exploration, wonder, determination, love, and growth – many grounded in research. Some of my favorite topics to write about are outdoor activities, gardening, animals (particularly chickens and horses), the family farm, and watercolor painting. I also have a painting gallery where visitors can view my completed watercolor paintings. If a painting inspires you, many of my paintings are available in quality archival prints in the shop.
A little about me
I am a wife to a supportive husband, and a mother to one boy and one girl. My family lives in rural Minnesota where our furry and feathery friends entertain us daily. We currently have 2 rescue dogs, Ayla and Lizzie, 20 chickens who are all named after wildflowers (I won’t bore you with all of their names), 4 geese (Carl, Gustav, Lena, and Anna – can you tell we love our Swedish heritage?), and one Holland lop rabbit, Lilac. Perennial gardens surround our house, and our 50’x50′ vegetable garden nourishes us throughout the year. My family and I enjoy all types of outdoor activities – hiking (especially on the North Shore of Lake Superior), fishing, golf, soccer, sand volleyball, agate hunting, and cross-country skiing. When I have time to myself, I find joy in writing, painting (for myself and for others), and DIY projects.
Thank you for visiting Unbound Roots. I hope you read something you connect with while you are here, and that you leave with a smile on your face.
Cheers!
Erin
