I've spent the past few months thinking with so many people's beautiful work, and I'm honored to share it more widely.
A poster with details for an art exhibition called "Cut / Paste". It runs from June 2 - October 31, 2025 in the Geography Department on the fourth floor of Cramer Hall at Portland State University. The opening reception was on Wednesday, June 4 from 4:30 - 6:30 pm. The poster also lists the names of 22 artists, and shows three map collages.

WIP for upcoming map collage workshop
There are two city maps with various city blocks and other features partially cut out, a utility knife, a highlighter, and a pile of paper scraps on a white work surface.

Mistook an unripe persimmon for a ripe one, a good reminder to moving more carefully leads to more sweetness.

Feels pretty awesome to watch a dam come down and a river come back.
A person wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a yellow shirt smiles at a camera. Behind them, a reservoir is slowly draining and construction vehicles are working. A small river winds through an area that was previously the bottom of a reservoir. There is new plant growth and lots of rock and sediment.

Finally back to riding my bike twelve weeks after being hit by a car, and I wasn't ready for all of these emotions.
A photo of a road intersection. There is a pole with two signs on the pedestrian island. One sign demonstrates how bicycles should cross. The other sign reads "No turn on red"
