I work in collage and fiber and love to research artwork topics, exploring our connection to the environment, history and the artifacts, ephemera, and landscapes that connect us to each other and the past.

Where are my fellow imposters? If you feel like you are always one wrong move away from being found out you are not alone. I dig into my own #impostersyndrome this week in the hopes that it might help us all feel a little more ourselves.

Thank you so much Greater Columbus Arts Council for the generous Artist Grant! It means so much. #artmakescbus
Collaged image with yellow ledger paper and white document paper woven into a frame around the outside. The upper right and lower left corners have collaged red, pink, and orange flowers. In the center is an illustration of a woman working at a spinning wheel. She is spinning the flowers into thread. Her face has been replaced by a purple star-scape. Arrow reading GCAC Grant points to flowers in roving, art reading Art points to thread, arrow reading me points to woman

I've always wanted a car with a roof that flies off for no reason, but doors that don't come off while you're burning alive inside it. My dreams have come true.

I love #details! #marchmeetthemaker2025 I love to add little vignettes that reward the viewer for looking closely and taking in the minutiae. My work is all about looking at the tiny details in #nature so I like to replicate that experience in my work. #collage #spider #milkweed #maps #flower
Drawn buds of a milkweed flower with a nautical map and geological schematic in the background. Detail of collage showing extended spider leg holding a thread with a fragment of lace. Pink flowers in the background framing someone in a boat.

One of my #marchmeetthemaker2025 aims it to be comfortable with relaxed drawing. I started a #perpetualjournal to help. I feel pressure to draw realistically and perfectly. I am trying to be better about just drawing and letting it be what it is. #drawing #naturedrawing #illustration #leaf

2025 has been hard for education. Politicians have been chiseling away at public education for a long time. This administration has traded in a chisel for a sledgehammer and are going ham on one of the tenets of our democracy like an HGTV show.
