Hello.

I am a botanical illustrator, an artist and a naturalist. Through signage, paintings and participatory workshops, I ask people to engage with their more-than-human neighbors.

I got my lucky start at the United States Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C. as the in-house botanical illustrator. Since then, I’ve worked to document threatened landscapes across North America, painting the rare and endemic flora of the Baja California peninsula, the headwaters of Bristol Bay and the temperate rainforest communities of Southeast Alaska. My paintings are a record of time: how slowly I moved across a landscape, the time I spent looking, and the time we live in, the anthropocene.

I have also worked seasonally as a science technician at a National Science Foundation research station on the Greenland ice sheet, assisting with atmospheric research and painting the endless variations of ice and sky.

Please email me if you would like my resume.
