Artist Statement
I make foraged nature sculptures shot in my barn art studio. Each piece starts out with a survey foraging trip. When I am foraging I pay attention to the color and texture of decaying materials, new growth, and animal sign. I do my best to gather materials that tell the story of the ecosystem and season. Then I use my field guides to identify the species of plants, animals and fungi. Back in my studio, I assemble the natural materials into a “live sculpture” and photograph it for print.

As an artist and conservationist, my art would not be possible without the preservation of wild spaces. Proceeds from my work go to support the Greensprings Wildlife Sanctuary in Ashland, Oregon. The sanctuary is 154 acres of forest, high prairie and riverside habitat in the Cascade-Siskiyou Mountains. Many of the materials used in my work are humanely sourced within the sanctuary. All art sales directly benefit the sanctuary for reforestation and habitat restoration projects.
