I am a multi-disciplinary artist based in Austin, Texas. I use site-specific soils and other plant materials from sites around Texas and the country to produce my own paint. Through my work, I nudge the viewer into a more intimate relationship with place. I am currently collaborating on a 5 year study of urban soil health with Dr. Allison Veach, and will be having a solo exhibition next summer to share some of our discoveries thus far. I believe making and teaching art is a spiritual practice. My art has been shown at the YellowStone Art Museum, on the cover of the BioPhysics journal, and is showcased in hospital collections and various galleries throughout the United States.
I also come with 20 years of experience in education, starting out as a public school art teacher and consultant for about a decade. Outside of all that, I love to be at home with my family, garden, craft and read.
