I am an interdisciplinary artist exploring the relationship between people, the land, and the changing environment with its inherent mysteries, interconnection, and dualities. I have collaborated with other artists, scientists, and non-profit organizations to create public art and forums on environmental issues.
My work explores a personal landscape where nature is inseparable from consciousness and the ephemeral state of the body. My style is inspired by the transitory—the cycle of life in the garden, and the breath, all in an attempt to understand our ever-changing relationship with the environment.
My artistic processes mirror these thoughts. I start with the magic of the ephemeral moment in the photograph, often a combination dependent on light, water, and alchemy. Each work then involves an attempted preservation and intervention by hand, often with collage. These actions of intervention, destroying and recreating the image, are similar to the way we are currently reshaping the natural world around us and nature is adapting.
I am represented by Anzenberger Gallery, Vienna, Austria, and Walker Fine Art, Denver, CO; and have shown at the Center for Fine Art Photography, Tilt Gallery, Colorado Photographic Arts Center, Medium Photography Festival, and the Yixian and Lishui Photography Festivals in China.
Public art includes The Fence by United Photo Industries/Photoville, a billboard chosen by SaveArtSpace.org, and various community projects. I have been published in Diffusion magazine, Lenscratch, Cincinnati Review, and was a Critical Mass Top 200 Artist in 2014. I am also a published poet in Writing by Heart by Meredith Heller. I received my degree from Savannah College of Art and Design and have taught via Colorado Photographic Arts Center/Art Students League in Denver and as a guest instructor at Colorado State University.
