Foxfire Engraving was created in 2023 when we moved back to my hometown of Bottineau.  My business was formed as not only a creative outlet, but also a way to connect with my father.  He was a woodworker and though our styles differed, my father's craft and my art share the same foundation:  a love for wood and the joy of creating something timeless.  My father passed away unexpectedly in 2024, but I continue to create with his influence in mind.  He even had an extensive wood collection that I've inherited and much of that treasured collection is incorporated into my art. 

From the very beginning, I jumped in with both feet.  Foxfire's first show ever was The Big One in Minot.  It was a wonderful opportunity and provided invaluable experience.  Since then, I've participated in small and large shows in the Minot, Bottineau, and Lake Metigoshe areas, and until December 2025, I maintained a successful booth in a makers market store in Bottineau .  After relocating to Wyndmere in July 2025, I have focused on attending smaller shows and local events, introducing the company and art to our new community.  We are also actively seeking to place our products in local retail stores.
