I am a visual artist whose paintings, drawings and sculptural environments explore the continuum between humanity and nature. Born in rural Northern California, I went to college in Los Angeles, where I studied art and environmental science. After falling in love with biology field work, I began combining ecology with art. I relocated to New York City in 2005, and completed my MFA at Hunter College in fall 2009. I now teach and keep a studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Combining a naturalist’s attention to detail with an artist’s license to translate and recontextualize those details, I find fertile ground for artistic expression.
