Howdy!

I'm Kirsten Joyce Anderson, an illustrator, designer, non-profit administrator, and bird nerd. l was born in the glorious state of Montana where my love for wilderness and nature was richly cultivated. I now call the Pacific Northwest home and am extremely lucky to live, work, and play in such an equally beautiful landscape.

I love finding those passion projects that allow the Venn Diagram of my brain to perfectly intersect! Which is why during the day, I work for an indigenous-led non-profit as the Operations Manager and also serve as a board member for the North Cascades Audubon Society. I hold a Diversity and Inclusion Certificate from Cornell University, an MBA in Interdisciplinary Enterprise Management from Western Washington University as well as a BA in French and Fine Arts from Western Washington University.

I hope my work inspires you to learn more about the natural world and engages you to become a steward to help preserve these wild places for generations to come.

GO FORTH AND RAMBLE OUT YONDER!

“...It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it’s still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious and awesome space...”
