Excited to announce that I will be participating in my first Todos Santos Open Studios Tour!

If you happen to be spending your summer vacation on Whidbey Island or live in the area, be sure to check out this event at the Price Sculpture Forest! I love the combination of the visual and performing arts mingling together in the forest!

My piece on display in the forest, Lichen Series: Spore Patterns is by the biological structures of mushroom gills and the patterns the spores leave behind. The over 300 ceramic forms are based on a type of shelf fungus that has a leathery surface and wedge shaped form that anchors itself to the side of decaying trees. This piece is a 12 foot diameter circle about 18″ high off the ground. Hope you get to see it in person!

ABC Art Baja Exhibition at Taller de Terreno with Cascabel Mountain Collective

March 16th 2024 | 4 – 7

Taller de Terreno | Las Playitas, Todos Santos BCS


Excited to be included in this show, which will be my very first exhibit in Mexico. I’ll be contributing a site-specific, ephemeral work in raw clay that responds to the architecture of the structure it sits on, as well as the environmental elements of the desert that it dwells in.

About the exhibit: Cascabel Mountain and Taller de Terreno invite you to a unique art exhibition in the desert’s serene environment, merging intellect with art through sculptural explorations inspired by Zen philosophy and land art. This event explores the transformative power of space on the mind, presenting sculptures as catalysts for new perspectives and ways of thinking. It emphasizes the intentional shaping of consciousness through the art of architecture, inviting you to experience and contribute to a collective revolution in mental and spatial architecture.

online exhibit illuminating the beauty of science

An image from my installation ‘Plankton Bloom in McMurdo Sound’ was just included in the online exhibition Illuminating the Beauty of Science by Suboart Magazine.

Science and art have always been closely tied, as the purpose of both is to understand the world around us and create within it. With advancements in both research and technologies happening at an increasingly rapid pace, how does this change the approach to making art through a scientific lens? This online exhibition showcases works that highlight the intersections between science, technology and art in many different ways.

From May 6 – 26, 2023, you can virtually tour the exhibit here or flip through the catalog here.
