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.
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.
Now through March 28, 2026 – in the James K. Schmidt Gallery at Principia College, outside St. Louis, MO.

This spring, I’ll be returning to the Grunewald Guild to offer two distinct art retreats, each inviting a slower pace, deeper attention, and a more connected and embodied relationship with creativity and artmaking. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or someone who struggles to “find time” for creative practice, both retreats will offer space for your own creative exploration. - My Shadow, Disguised as a Mountain
I suppose walking paths has always been my thing. Drawing, as it were – making lines on surfaces. But the line is never the thing. It is the making of the line. I guess movement is my thing—it’s the not-knowing where the line will go. We have some control over the movement of the line, but the surface is determined – it has a ground, and an edge (like a piece of paper, or a landscape). I think ultimately, I’ve never liked that edge.
