Education
The ideas, materials, and people I encountered during my time in the art program at the University of North Texas were profoundly influential. I continually apply skills and processes originally developed for artmaking.
Work Experience
Though my outdated CV states 'artist,' my journey has taken me through diverse roles such as farmhand, rooftop gardener, and Vectorworks designer. My path has consistently interwoven creativity animated by empathy. The years I spent in the NYC garden design/build industry were marked by commited labor and continuous learning. Insights derived from gardening, carpentry, and client interactions inform my current work.
Why Plants?
My fascination with integrating botanical elements into my art stems from the inherent visual language of plants. They vividly communicate their life processes through tangible forms. Caregiving is a transformative act - in the garden, art studio, and home.
