I create mixed media works–including paintings, prints, installations, and public art–that cultivate a sense of wonder for the complex ecosystems surrounding us and reflect on humanity’s precarious relationship with the more-than-human world. My work deconstructs patterns and forms found in nature through an intuitive witnessing and an eidetic image-making that situates itself in the liminal space between abstraction and representation. I frequently incorporate visual data, such as maps and microscopic images, as well as found and foraged materials, into my work. My process is informed by research; developed in collaboration with community leaders, educators, and scientists; and grounded in contemplative practice.
