Artist Statement

Through my artistic practice, I seek connection with the natural world at the micro level. I

do this both through close study and examination of small details, the decomposition of a

tree branch on a favorite trail, and through an embracing of processes that maximize

nature’s imprint on the work, capturing a day’s changing sunlight through place-based

cyanotype. I want viewers to feel a part of the landscape; their– own sense of smallness

within– a sense of connection, care, and concern for the environment's future.
