Nomad at Home
Not everyone has a wanderlust, some are content with home, where the comfort of the familiar is enough. I am a wanderer, I find comfort in the unfamiliar and the road less traveled.
If home is where my heart is, and it is, I bring a piece of my heart with me on my forays into the wider world. Home is more acutely appreciated upon my return, and like a pilgrim, I return with a fuller heart.
Hello! My name is
Kate Poole
and I live and work in North Idaho. We are in the process of restoring a turn of the century homestead, where we host retreats.
Gardening has been a big part of my life. I grow both medicinal herbs for my skin care line, Essential Apothecary Alchemist, and food crops, for farm to table dinners for our guests.
As an artist beauty is my soul food. I love painting women’s portraits embellished with birds, flowers, vines and plants. I also enjoy painting landscapes. I have endless inspiration living in our rural location.
