Sharlet Driggs is a former Montana cowgirl turned Seattle businesswoman, turned artist and mom. She grew up on a holistically managed grass-fed cattle ranch in Montana- where her family has lived and worked for over 125 years. She believes that true stewardship of the land can best be managed by those who know it intimately. While her career has been in construction management, her passions still lie with agriculture. She is also an artist in her “spare” time; and even that ties into agriculture as she turns sheep’s wool into layered and sculpted felt art work. As a resident of the Snoqualmie Valley, Sharlet is passionate about the local farming community and is an active member of many Northwest Earth Institute discussion groups. sharlet@prkc.org
