Whether inspired by music, water, or friendships, I hope to share the connections that sustain us.
I am a current illustration undergrad at Rhode Island School of Design. Here I'm learning from friends and teachers to tell stories through sequential arts, words, animation, painting, printmaking, scientific illustration and more. I draw inspiration from time spent doing trail work in the West and Midwestern United States, working on a farm and volunteering with conservation organizations. These combined with relaxed time in nature have given me hope for the potential of rewilding using science, intuition, and education, all in collaboration with the original instructions.
​
I'm realizing how I enjoy my art when it illustrates hopes, goals, threats and consequences - Especially in relation to the roots that connect us to the causes, effects and solutions of the collapsing climate. Art has taught me so much - I hope to work to make it more accessible.
Human activity is driving global extinctions and capitalism has sucked the life from human culture for centuries. How will the next generation right wrongs and strive for a more loving and habitable earth?
