Observation is at the heart of my creative practice—whether I’m in the field, in the art studio, or making music. Outdoors on iNaturalist, I document species to better understand the extraordinary web of life. In the studio, I work improvisationally with cotton fabrics, layering fragments into abstract collages that reflect both real and imaginary ecological systems. In music—especially on the Celtic harp, with its resonant and flowing tones—improvisation guides me as it does in fabric, balancing intuition with structure, discovery with form.
Inspired by trees, water, fungi, prairie wildflowers, pollinators, and the shifting rhythms of the seasons, I translate the vitality of the living world into color, texture, and sound. Across these mediums, my work channels the energy, movement, and vibrant spirit of nature, inviting others to look more closely and spark their own imagination.
