About
Hi! I’m Kitty Wilkin, and I love to take photographs–especially of nature! My mother-in-law collects heart-shaped rocks, and once I started looking for those, I began to see the hearts that are everywhere in nature. Even when it’s not in the shape of an actual heart…. if you look closely enough, you can see the heart of all that is natural.
Many of my photos are macros, since I love to really LOOK at things. Oftentimes the details are missed unless you take the time to really look. Since moving in with the love of my life (who’s now my husband!!) we have been adorning the walls of our house with photos we’ve taken.
I’ve opened a little shop on Etsy to sell my matted photographs, greeting cards made by mounting my photographs on recycled notecards, and other nature-inspired creations. Please check out my stuff at www.heartofnature.etsy.com ! I also have a shop at 1000 Markets; http://heartofnature.1000markets.com . Come visit! *My shops are currently closed as I am dedicating all of my time and energies to being a mommy to my darling Madeline, born in December 2009. Stay tuned for when I make time again for crafting and maintaining online shops, but always remember… love is everywhere!*
My professional work experience includes 6 years as a wetland specialist at an environmental consulting and engineering firm, and 2 years as a 3rd grade teacher at a local public school. My undergraduate degree is a BS in Environmental Science, and I completed my MAT in Elementary Education. I absolutely love teaching, and hope to spread my love of learning and enjoying the small details in life with my daughter, students, and with any children (or adults, for that matter) I meet.
I also practice yoga regularly, my favorite style of which is Ashtanga. I completed a 5 month yoga teacher training certification program a few summers ago at the Yoga and Healing Center in Scotch Plains, NJ. So now I’m certified to teach yoga, too!! I taught Ashtanga at Alluem Yoga Studio in Cranford, NJ until our move to Maine, and now I teach Tuesday and Friday nights at Central Street Yoga in Bangor, Maine. 5:30pm–stop by! I love it!
I am also the proud and overwhelmingly joyful mommy to Madeline, born December 23, 2009. She is an amazing gift and I cherish every moment with her. I am enjoying being a full time mom (plus yoga teacher 2 nights a week). Life is good!
