I am a craft-based sculptor and printmaker based in Oakland, California. My work explores ecological themes and our relationship with our wildlands and their inhabitants. I’m interested in meditating on the aesthetic and subjective experiences of wildlife & wildlands through sculpture that plays with absurd or unusual use of materials and scale. What can the embodied experience of making tell us about our wildlands that science cannot?

My work is deeply rooted in Craft; it is important to me that the work of my hands is visible in every piece. Perfection is not something I am for. Your tactile experience with the object I make is much more important to me. My work is meant to be touched.
