Welcome
A deep curiosity drives me to explore the inner workings of nature and our interconnected landscape. I find inspiration in elements of the natural world that reflect the passage of time, such as birds, feathers, nests, and forests.
My creative process is deliberate and contemplative, marked by careful observation, collecting objects, sketching, and thoughtful assemblage. Through these practices, I aim to deepen my connection not only with nature but also with my own life.
I was an Artist-In-Residence at Wilcox Park in Westerly, Rhode Island July 2025
