I am a mixed-media painter based in New England. My work bears witness to the physical effects, historical causes, and emotional impact of ecological decline through a layered visual language that combines scientific data and text with figurative, symbolic and archival imagery.
Environmental issues are central to my practice, and each body of work is grounded in research. Archetypal figures set within distressed landscapes act as embodiments of ecological trauma. Pre-modern text and imagery woven into my artwork function as cultural artifacts and narrative frameworks for explorations of the historical roots of contemporary crises. Handwritten fragments of text and graphics from twenty-first-century scientific publications serve as both evidence and warning, reflecting how data-driven information is widespread yet difficult to fully absorb.
My interdisciplinary approach uses intuition and myth, science and history to engage both heart and mind, while critically reflecting on humanity’s cumulative impacts on the natural world.
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.
