ABOUT

My process consists of focusing on the art of noticing and observation from nature as a means of connection, creation, and problem solving. I often find myself making images that reflect the interconnection of the natural world and exploration. Whether through photography, painting, or mixed media, my work's relationship to our current cultural environment is active, and curious. It explores different connections between landscape, wildlife, and human stories. The intersectionality of the natural environment, natural history, human development, social justice, and eco futurism is prevalent throughout my work. Primarily I work within the midwest landscape, and my work has investigated the deconstruction of institutional power dynamics, historical contexts of built environments and environmental social justice. Recently I have worked within the Mediterranean landscape in Italy, which has enabled my development of my practice to focus on the wonder and curiosity a day can hold.
