Gallatin Valley Farmers’ Market
Specializing in Greeting Cards, Prints, Baby Hats, and Preserves
I am a British expatriate and US citizen living here in Bozeman, Montana. My stall is designed to appeal to all.
I started attending the Farmers’ Market in June 2011 and have enjoyed eleven years of steady growth selling a variety of items.
I create greeting cards, prints, baby hats, and preserves.
I am located at the north end of the Haynes Pavilion building.
You can spot me by the Union Jack flag on my blue table.
I look forward to seeing you on Saturdays, and thank you for your patronage!
Contact me with any orders, along with any questions you might have.

Artist
I am an artist whose favorite medium is watercolor.
I also enjoy the detail involved in pen and ink juxtaposed with the unpredictability of watercolor.
I sell prints and greeting cards which focus on local wildlife, especially birds, and Montana landscapes.
A selection of my Montana birds greeting cards have been sold at Wild Birds Unlimited in Bozeman.
“MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD” and “SANDHILL CRANE IN SPRINGHILL”
I also paint dogs and cats on commission in pen & ink with watercolor. These are some examples of my commissioned paintings. Please contact me for a quote.
“MAGGIE, THE MINIATURE DACHSHUND” and “SADIE, THE BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER”
“TOBY, THE MINIATURE DACHSHUND”
“I gave Rachael a photo of my mini dachshund Maggie so she could paint a picture of her. She did a wonderful job painting her just from the photo. The painting looks just like Maggie and she even got her expression; the picture almost says ‘aren’t I beautiful?’ I was so pleased to have Rachael take the time and effort to do this for me. She even framed and matted it.”—Terri M.
“I highly recommend commissioning a pet portrait from Rachael! She did such a great job capturing the likeness of our Labrador Retriever, Sadie. We gave the piece to our daughter (who was in college at the time) and it was a fun and unique birthday gift that will always hold special meaning for her.”—Laura R.
“When I contacted Rachael to paint Toby’s portrait, she asked for a few photographs of my miniature dachshund Toby, and I chose which one I wanted to use for his pose in the painting. She captured the essence of Toby beautifully; the painting shows exactly how he was. She delivered his portrait on time as promised, and we were able to meet safely taking all possible precautions during this time of Covid-19. I am very happy with the final result, including the price. I will be asking Rachael to paint my new rescue dog very soon!”—Esther L.
Knitter
I also enjoy knitting and sell a variety of baby hats in traditional and more unusual colors. I have created custom fitted hats for older children as well as adults.
These are more traditional baby hats. Perfect for a baby shower.
These hats (left) are bright, colorful, and fun to mix & match with your baby’s clothing.
My Bobcat hats are very popular. The Bobcat sports teams are from Montana State University here in Bozeman, Montana.
These hats are ideal for military families and hunters.
Jam Maker
I make award-winning jams. In 2015, I won all four prizes at the Gallatin County Fair.
| Strawberry & Rhubarb | 1st Prize |
| Raspberry & Vanilla | 2nd Prize |
| Triple Berry | 3rd Prize |
| Strawberry & Raspberry | 4th Prize |
I still use the same recipes for these jams. Look for them at my stall this summer.
My jams have proven to be very popular, especially my best-selling Strawberry & Rhubarb jam, and my Raspberry & Vanilla jam.
Please note that supply is determined by the growing season.
