I am a multi-media artist who uses oil, watercolor, pastels, gouache, wax, and scraps of found/recycled paper. My work toggles between abstractions of landscapes, filaments of the human experience, and use of line and shape to make connections between history, places, and the human & non-human world. 

 

I'm also a psychotherapist - working with adults and teens in private practice, as well as facilitating groups for people who want to explore the feelings associated with our climate crisis.  

​

In my art and as a mental health care provider it's clear that attending to the planet means attending to each other - connecting in new, unexpected ways - open to finding surprising solutions inclusive of our humanity and our vulnerability. I see collaboration - a blending of ideas, a weaving between disciplines, a partnering between diverse and disparate ways of thinking - to be the key component in our collective response to climate change. Artistically and clinically, I believe that finding a way to feel, express, and stay engaged with our complex modern reality is the fundamental task of our time - and is the driving focus of my artistic and professional work.
