I taught climate history for 2 decades at midwestern public universities. I always included a few slides and discussion of her work. Not a single uni student had ever learned of her. Glad that you're spreading the word!

Love this!

A barred owl under an apple tree--reduction linocut, 6 layers, 9X12" printed area, 2025. This was a commissioned piece for someone who loves apples trees and owls. #printsky #linocut #reductionprint #owls

Layer by layer, the cover for my forthcoming book REINDEER (Yale UP) is taking shape! Only a couple more layers I hope. #reindeer #svalbard #reductionprint #yaleup

The water reflections are great

I love the greens!

Gorgeous!

All pies are #1!

Here comes Pernille! She's a bad ass and will handle the kidnappers with one hand tied behind her back.

If you see this, post your bird art.

Our system requires telehealth visits to take place in a local clinic for reimbursement. This means that my rheumatologist is 4 states away, and I see her at the local hospital via zoom. Perhaps yours can make a similar arrangement? The new Medicare rules apply to telehealth at home, not a clinic

what's with the creepy Hitler mustaches????
