About

Cliff Trail View, Monhegan Island, Maine

I create drawings, photographs, multi-media installations, video, and sound-based works that explore the fragile, quiet spaces where human identity, memory, and the natural world meet. Living and working along midcoast Maine, my practice is deeply shaped by my daily surroundings—from the dense forests and coastal waterways to the subtle movements of wild creatures. Working across charcoal, graphite, ink, and monotype printmaking, I build sensory environments that invite stillness, deep attention, and reflection. My work acts as a tactile record of time, place, and feeling, capturing the quiet moments when organic forms begin to blur, dissolve, or transform. By blending direct observation with experimental, layered processes, I seek to bridge the gap between our intimate internal experiences and the expansive, more-than-human world.
