I am a multi-disciplinary artist influenced by botany, philosophy, and the history of science. I work in gold, silver, copper, glass, fabric, wood, stone, clay, ink and pencil.

My BA is in Human Ecology, with a focus in botany and philosophy of science. My MA is in the History of Hermetic Philosophy. My research focused on applied artists dealing with philosophic, spiritual and religious themes in their work. The applied arts, which include jewelry, pottery, fiber arts and other mediums that require wearing and use, have a unique language of touch and physical interaction available to them. This inherently wordless quality makes these mediums an often perfect fit for transmitting the silent experiential realms found in Hermetic and Taoist philosophy, spirituality and religion, and the basic human experience of awe.

My own work explores the way we relate to the natural world, and how we question and dismantle the social framework we have inherited that canonizes academic knowledge over spirit-led information.
