My Work

My biggest body of work right now is all about trees. I’m fascinated by their strength and their shapes as well as the light and shadows that fall on them at different times of day. Like people, trees aren’t perfect. Their beauty often comes from growing through difficult times or terrain and their scars make them infinitely more interesting and distinctive.

Tree growth and development is not so different than our own human growth and development. Like us, each tree is unique and has its own story. It is heavily influenced by the environment it grows up in and its support systems. 

Like humans, trees thrive best in community. They communicate with each other. They can even warn each other of danger and funnel nutrients to the ones who have the greatest need.
