As a naturalist, the smallest elements in nature focus sharply, while backdrops blur and become a nest of feeling. The hoof of a deer, the twirl of a vine, these are the things that stay with me. By sharply seperating these details from their greater canvas, I hope to remind the audience that the smallest moments are sometimes the most memorable. 

Work as a naturalist, educator, and artist, collide to create a collection that show human patterns, borrowed from the environment, creating unatural boundaries where there should be none. I believe that patterns are a thing that bind us together. They follow us across continents, weaving themselves into our culture to tell our stories. Patterns are way to remind us to reconnect to nature and reiterate that we are one race - human. 

Bitter cold winters. Lush mountains. Bright deserts. These are the images of my travels across America.
