About

As an artist and scientist, my experiences coalesce into an interdisciplinary research-based practice grounded in the ecological arts. My expeditionary field-based artwork investigates topics in anthropogenic-induced climate change, natural resource use, and ecological memory. Arctic landscapes, deep-sea hydrothermal vents and upstate NY are places on the planet that interest me most at the moment. I teach at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY and have an MFA in visual art and a PhD in plant science from University of California, Davis.
