About
As a multidisciplinary artist combining art, science, and activism, my practice takes many forms in order to express important environmental messages to a global audience. More traditional fine art media like sculpture, printmaking, and painting, combine with crafts like hand papermaking and book binding, and with new forms like digital and social media in order to share stories about climate change and environmental histories.
My current body of work, Spitsbergen mania, is a study of Svalbard, an archipelago in the High Arctic, one of the fastest warming regions of the world. The work explores Svalbard’s disappearing sea and glacial ice, and how climate change is disrupting the life cycles of interconnected flora and fauna of Arctic marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
In July 2026 I’ll return to Svalbard to join The Arctic Circle Art and Science Residency’s Summer Expedition. In 2024, I joined The Arctic Circle’s Autumn Expedition and in 2019 a collection of my work was archived in a vault deep in the permafrost next to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
I exhibit widely including at Smith College Museum of Art, EXPO Chicago, MCA Chicago, Hyde Park Art Center, Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY), Cambridge Art Association (Cambridge, MA), Paul Robeson Galleries, Rutgers University (NJ), and The Center for Book, Paper, and Print (Columbia College Chicago).
My work is in the permanent collections of Smith College Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, UC Santa Barbara, Savannah College of Art and Design, Occidental College and St. Ambrose University.
Born in Southern California, I currently live and work in Chicago, USA. I hold a BS in Studio Art from New York University and an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art from Columbia College Chicago.
