I am an imaginative professional artist and art teacher with 25+ years of diverse, unconventional, practical and theoretical experience, linking visual arts to ecological and social movements with cultural sustainability and responsiveness. My multidisciplinary, inclusive approach brings storytelling to life through drawing, painting, art history, healing arts, poetry and literature, movement, meditation, and performing arts.
As a fine artist and illustrator, I create engaging work that animates characters, emotions and environments—while also supporting evidence-based self-care, emotional intelligence, and creativity through yoga and meditation programming, coaching, workshops, and teaching.

Based on a solo quest through Ireland, this illustration project expresses in watercolor and ink the varied encounters I had at sacred and historical sites, detailed as a memoir.
Based on an original short story about a tribe of magical women forest dwellers, this six-part artwork series displays colorful oil pastel illustrations against a simple backdrop of darkness.
As an accompaniment to my Masters Thesis—“The Tale of Us: an ecofeminist criticism of Western civilization & an artistic reimagining of life on Planet Earth,” this seven-work series explores the intersection between how nature (the forest specifically) and women’s bodies are exploited by capitalist systems.
A personal project based on a story reaching completion, I’ve created a number of illustrations to experiment with the approach and style the project would be best served by. Intended as an adult book, the story imaginatively links life in the forest with dangerous capitalistic practices and the urgent need to reform destructive approaches into life-sustaining, care-centered ones.
A story about one man’s journey through prostate cancer, this project was endorsed by the American Cancer Society as a public service to men who often wait too long to get checked by a medical professional.
