The focus of my 2025 wall calendar, this collection of mixed-media collages traces the journey of water through clouds, rivers, forests, and oceans. Each image honors the ways water connects us—to each other, to the land, and to our shared planet. The series celebrates renewal, flow, and the cyclical beauty of the natural world.
Commissioned by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), this collection of illustrations was created to advocate for the removal of dams along the Salmon River. My mixed-media collages highlight the essential relationships among orcas, salmon, rivers, forests, and communities that depend on healthy ecosystems—reminding us how restoring balance in nature restores balance in ourselves.
Living in a rural agricultural community, I’m continually inspired by the ways our food connects us—to the land, to each other, and to the larger cycles of life. These works explore farming, foraging, and the shared rituals that root us in place and nourish both body and spirit.
Created in collaboration with renowned mental health expert Karen Green, Conscious Care Cards is a self-published therapeutic card deck designed to support caregivers in fostering their children’s emotional well-being. Each card in this 72 card deck features my mixed-media illustrations, crafted to nurture mindfulness, empathy, and self-awareness through art. This project reflects my deep belief in the healing power of creativity and connection.
This collection features my published and forthcoming children’s book projects, all rooted in a love of nature and interconnected storytelling. My debut picture book, I Am the Thirsty Desert—a Eureka! Nonfiction Honor Book—explores the desert’s resilience through lyrical text and collage. My pre-published titles (Turnips for Henry (written by Andrea Bemis), Connected, and The Yellow Stone of Yellowstone) each highlight the relationships that link living things, from ecosystems and seasons to beloved animals and iconic landscapes. Together, these works celebrate curiosity, ecology, and our place in the natural world.
This collection features images of domestic animals, birds, and wildlife, inspired by the way all creatures possess an innate understanding of the world and their place within it. Through my collages, I explore how we, too, can tap into that inner wisdom—recognizing patterns, instincts, and connections that guide us in our own lives.
