Violet Coral, Glade Run, 2025. 14” x 14” natural dye on canvas. This mushroom was so surprising in color and form! Love that logwood, lac, and cochineal can capture all the nuances of blueish and pinkish purples.

I’ve taught at West Virginia University for the past two years. It’s the biggest school in the state with 24k students. They just eliminated their DEI programs… because you know, only white cis hetero men deserve to feel safe and valued in upper education.
