As an environmental artist working in all different mediums with the common theme of a reverence for this earth, I explore methods and techniques to try to find a language of love that might strengthen our relationship or connection to the land. The practice of the studio is as much about process as it is about object. From finding and harvesting bioregional materials, to molding, weaving, and burning into form, our hands and senses “know” the material intimately. 

The different smells, textures, and raw sensation of making the form is all a part of informing the outcome of the work. I trust that the inherent beauty of the materials in their natural state will come through no matter what form I put them in.  The sculptures record the sun, rain, heat and cold, and even air pollution. A living journal of the elements of the environment is created. 

The studio is committed to using our artistic platform as an expression of  environmental, climate and social change through engagement in community, collaborations, and mentoring creative environmental leaders. We have an open studio inviting artisans, poets, environmentalists, builders, students and farmers, to work together in response to the landscape, people and animals surrounding us. The studio strives to use sustainable and reclaimed materials, often re-using cast off materials from cultural usage or past installations.

I earned an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2008. I have installed work in New England, National Parks and New Zealand farmlands, and shown in solo and select group shows, including at Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park, Vermont; Shelburne Museum, Vermont; deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Massachusetts; Boston Sculptors Gallery, Massachusetts; Minute Man National Historical Park, Massachusetts; Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, Vermont; Burlington City Arts, Vermont; Christian Science Plaza in Boston; Provincetown Art Association Museum, Massachusetts; Qorikancha Museum, Cusco, Peru.
