Greetings!
I’m a multidisciplinary artist deeply connected to the practice of walking and exploring landscapes. My work as an artist is an ongoing exploration into the connections between people, places, and the everyday, manifesting as processes of walking, mapping, and mark-making. My art and writing are inspired by the experiences and reflections that arise from the present moment.
Scroll down this page to explore more of what I do and offer.
Landscapes
Recent landscapes of inner and outer terrains, inspired by wilderness, Jungian concepts of shadow work, and the process of inner integration.
Experiments
Working with crumpled paper, damaging and manipulating of the paper, determining how I respond to it as a surface for markmaking.
Walking
Drawings rooted in the everyday practice of walking, combining smartphone GPS tracking apps with traditional drawing mediums.
Videos
Time-based media projects, videos of walks and documentation, and occasional poetry reading.
Blog
Dispatches from the studio, reflections on the work in progress, and travelogues from the path.
Guidance/Coaching
I help curious people find meaning and presence through creativity, story, and sacred conversation.
