creating has always been about connecting to something larger than myself.

the art made to gather attention and awe became a doorway to healing myself and the world around me, which inevitably had become the same thing.

over time, my art practice expanded into a blooming relationship with nature. the louisiana swamp — its birds, trees, waters, and gentle seasons — became my teacher and my collaborator. i am a forever student of the earth and all its medicines, but mushrooms (the ones i’ve painted, and the ones i’ve eaten) have lined the path to my healing artistry — little cheerleaders of the soul.

now, i am a naturalist, artist, and writer living in the liminal space between my own inner world and the earth — alllll seasons included. my hope is that this work reminds you of your own power and connection to the earth, too.
