I am an artist and printmaker living and working in Parkland County, Alberta, Canada, just outside of Edmonton. My artwork grows out of a longstanding interest in the natural world and the ways we connect with the places we inhabit. I am drawn to ecological details - the microscopic structures of plants, the behaviour of insects, the traces left by animals and the sounds they make - and the larger textures and histories of a landscape.

Printmaking is at the heart of my practice. I mostly make woodcuts and etchings, but also regularly work in monotype, drawing, painting, sound art, and animation. The materials I work with are an important part of my studio practice. I am interested in things like the grain of the plywood, and the plant fibres used to make printmaking paper. I enjoy the physical processes of carving, inking, and pulling a print, as well as the endless possibilities for experimentation that printmaking offers.

Before becoming a full-time artist, I spent more than a decade working as a botanist and wildlife biologist in western Canada. That experience continues to shape my work. I often draw on field observations, natural history collections, and collaborations with scientists and science-adjacent institutions, to bring scientific ways of looking into conversation with more intuitive and exploratory processes of artmaking.

I have exhibited my work in solo and group exhibitions across Canada and internationally, and my practice continues to evolve through research and making, residencies, teaching, and public engagement. I hold an MFA in Printmaking from the University of Alberta, an MSc in Plant Ecology from the University of Manitoba, and a BSc in Biology from the University of Guelph.
