Crocuses and snowdrops have been up since March. I let them grow wild on the front lawn, leftovers from my mom's old flower bed. One beautiul Blue Pearl crocus appeared only once in 2020, never to be seen again. I keep hoping it will return one day.

Spring is (almost) sprung! Snowball hanging out in my mulberry grove while I check out the post-winter state of my Monarch Sanctuary.

This is AWESOME news! I built a Monarch Sanctuary in my backyard a few years ago when I learned monarch numbers started drastically declining. And I'm rewilding my entire property with native plants. Every little bit helps.
Report: The eastern monarch butterfly population wintering in central Mexico's forests occupied 4.42 acres of forest, up from 2.22 acres during the previous winter. While this is hopeful news, populations remain far below the long-term average. Read more: wwf.to/41Icy5f.

Whitehall, NY is a stunningly beautiful town that has been in decline for decades. It's also my hometown. A group of local residents are coming together to bring it back. I'm exploring how Arts & Culture can support efforts to revitalize downtown and bring in more tourism. #arts #revitalization

The old ways of doing things no longer work. There is a spiritual reckoning taking place as we take a hard look at the real history of ourselves and our nation - how we've treated others, how we've treated the earth. Time to get grounded, pull ourselves out of fear & see what the real work will be.

Drying gourds outside in the snow transforms them into otherworldly orbs. By spring, they're ready for the studio.

"Dance on a Volcano" (2008)
Inspired by the 1976 Genesis song of the same name. Created during the crash of '08 which deepened my preoccupation with the social-ecological changes taking place since the early 2000s, the impact on the environment and society's reaction to global change.

If you want to make a change in the world, start in your own backyard and listen to the plants under your feet.
