My passion for seeking and storytelling drives my visual art and curatorial practices. As a visual artist, I create at the intersection of art, science, and the natural world. My interdisciplinary practice—spanning printmaking, mixed media, experimental media, digital art, and installation—provides ample opportunities to be both an artist and an experimenter.
The natural world, in particular, energizes me, and it's where my scientific curiosity and environmental concerns intersect best, exploring topics from California’s native flora and waterways to social justice and environmental equity. My current hybrid print and dimensional collage series is inspired by California’s last wild river, the Smith. My prints and dimensional mixed-media works are created with original digital imagery inspired by my nature wanderings, monotype, and other innovative printmaking techniques. I print on 100% cotton rag paper, then cut and construct.
These works are intentionally mandala-like. They embody my personal experiences and reverence for Earth’s rivers, streams, lakes, and freshwaters—the lifeblood upon which all existence depends.
