Trained as a printmaker, I have over a decade of experience as an artist with a multidisciplinary practice encompassing print, drawing, writing and cookery, creating informationally rich works which require slowness and stillness in both their creation and viewing.
I hold an MFA from the University of Iowa and a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art, both in Printmaking and Drawing, where my focus of study and practice was intaglio etching on copper and narrative drawing.
My work has been exhibited widely in both the USA and UK, and I have held fellowships and residencies at numerous arts organisations, including the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica, the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, and an apprenticeship at the Fabric Workshop and Museum.
Public commissions include drawings for permanent storage at the site of the Nordic Gene Bank’s original seed vault in Svalbard, NO as part of the Seed Cultures Initiative, and Red River: Listening to a Polluted River, an 18-month research project investigating the history, ecologies and stories of the Red River, running from the heart of Cornwall’s historic mining landscape.
Since relocating to Cornwall from the USA, I have been locally active as an artist, participating in the 2019 Cornwall Workshop, exhibiting work at Auction House, Falmouth Art Gallery, and Kresen Kernow, and I have been a studio holder at both Krowji and CAST.
