The source of my paintings is the sensory experience of the living earth - its patterns, movements, sounds, tastes, and smells. Painting, like scrying and divining, is an act through which an artist channels information and returns it, transformed, to human experience.

Biodiversity is a parallel but unrecognized challenge to climate change. No diversity, no food. It’s as simple as that. My habitat work, my art, and my writing are parallel and interwoven practices. I intend for each to raise awareness among a wide range of readers, viewers, and visitors.

My installations respond to the physical space and social history of the exhibition site itself, while at the same time referring to a world outside the exhibition space. They can be seen as walk-in paintings or frozen stage sets where the actors have departed and the visitor is free to roam around.

A book can be anything an artist imagines it to be: a box that contains mysteries, an accordion that becomes a planet turning in your hand, a conversation with colleagues. My books and prints reconfigure the natural world and reflect on the origins of life, the spiritual dimensions of our existence.
