I am a mixed-media painter based in New England whose work bears witness to the physical effects, historical causes, and emotional impact of ecological decline. My layered visual language combines scientific data and text with figurative, symbolic, and archival imagery in an interdisciplinary exploration of humanity’s complex relationship with the natural world.
Environmental issues are central to my practice, and each body of work is grounded in research. Handwritten fragments of data and graphics from contemporary scientific publications serve as both evidence and warning, reflecting how data-driven information is widespread yet difficult to fully absorb. Archetypal figures set within distressed landscapes embody ecological trauma, while pre-modern text and imagery woven into my artwork function as cultural artifacts of the historical roots of today’s environmental crises.
Through combinations of art, science and history, my work aims to engage both heart and mind in critical consideration of the urgent ecological challenges confronting all living beings.
Note: My practice includes providing online resources that support emotional well-being related to eco-anxiety, including community building and social justice action. Materials with practical resources to support biodiversity, along with contacts for organizations involved in habitat restoration, are made available at exhibitions and speaking engagements.
