My studio practice is fueled by a naturalist impulse, echoing the spirit of early environmentalists like Bartram and Audubon. Rooted in their legacy, I merge art making with scientific inquiry, weaving together threads of observation, environmental consciousness, and artistic exploration.
In my paintings, prints, sculpture, and public art, I approach each piece with the curiosity of a naturalist, delving beyond the surface to uncover hidden connections within the natural world, be that on a molecular level or pastoral. Central to my practice is the recognition of our environment's vulnerability and the urgency of the climate crisis. I aim to underscore the timeless relevance of our ecology and nature conservation in the anthropocene.
I believe in the transformative power of art and the act of looking with sensorial awareness. Ultimately, my goal is to create an open conduit between art and science, offering a unique perspective that celebrates the wonders of the natural world while advocating for its preservation.
