The buddies are the inhabitants of Brambleberry Hollow a magical place in small town America somewhere in the north woods. The stories I write and the art I produce are inspired by the stories the buddies tell me: they are my muse.

The buddies themselves are lovable, washable, huggable and great for kids of all ages. The buddies always tell stories of friendship, community, respect and love and they are always there when you need a friend. That is just who they are.

I created them out of a love for my stuffed animals. They were there for adventures, to talk to about my day and to comfort me when I was sad. It is my belief that “everybody needs a buddy”.
