In my work I try to capture a language of physical synesthesia, a geometric color and rhythm world. I am interested in interconnection and flux: chaos, weather, homeostasis and decay, ecologies. I think about non-human perspectives, the buckling of space and narrative time. 

I have roots in the midwest and in the California School of art as a student at Stanford University, and have since lived and worked in many places including NYC, the US mountain west, and on a variety of field excursions. Outside of art, I return to books, music and nature for orientation. I have a background in science journalism, and a layperson’s interest in biology, microbiomes, and physics also informs my work.

Conceptions of environment or landscape can imply a disassociation between us and what we call wild or even industrial. Through art, I explore interdependence and entanglement, the sublime as inextricable from the ordinary. In some sense my work can be viewed as bits of spirit, or icons -- not of beings but of interconnection. 

Some of my recent series are unstretched. In the pieces, boundaries are in flux, wholes are uncertain. They shift between a thing, a backdrop, a window. A glimpse of something - between me and it - becomes its own entity. I am interested in the coexistence of disparate outcomes, as in my Spin and Midwest Battlefield series.

When not painting or writing I help manage a farm. I live on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. I have prosopagnosia (face-blindness), and my fondness for people coupled with this sometimes anonymity also informs my work.
