About

Hi! I’m Erin, the writer and painter behind Unbound Roots – a site that resulted from my passion for 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. I also complete commissioned paintings and would be happy to discuss this option with interested parties through my contact page.

A little about me

I am a wife to a supportive husband, and a mother to a sweet boy and a little girl who wants to be just like her mama (I’m going to enjoy this while I can). We have two rescue dogs, Brook and Ayla, who adamant that they go on their daily walks, 17 chickens, who entertain us daily with their curiosity and intelligence, 2 geese who are full of character, and two Holland lop bunnies – Lilac and Lily. Perennial gardens surround our house, and our 25’x150′ 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!
