About

I am interested in the subtle and brief articulations of natural forms. If I see them as signs or symbols that communicate intelligence, and decipher their unspoken messages, I remember how I fit in the family of earthly things. With a desire to understand this forgotten language, I engage in my own creative conversation with Nature’s forms. As a multidisciplinary artist, I collaborate with the natural world to point out the extraordinary in the ordinary.

 Questioning the contemporary narrative that we are separate from, and superior to, our natural environment, my work is an integral part of reclaiming an ancient memory of belonging. Through sharing my process/my work, I tell the story of yearning to recreate a more respectful and reciprocal relationship to the land.
