Biography
Research
My work observes, records, and responds to both the beauty of nature and the anthropogenic issues that have become acute in recent years, from water contamination to the climate crisis. In exploring these issues, my work is often in collaboration with biologists, environmentalists, poets, and musicians, as well as other visual artists. I am represented by Brenda Taylor Gallery in Boston, and through an affiliation with LG Tripp Gallery in Philadelphia.
