Living on the edge of the wild forest and working in the fields in the ever-changing elements has humbled me to exhaustion and exaltation. Never am I allowed to forget that all things are connected.

my camera did not survive the journey through central america so I have very few precious documented memories of my 6 months of traveling through Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and Mexico. I am writing a memoir to document my memories of this trip and working on a related painting series. [Read more…]

biking to the beach
After an arduous yet delightful season of organic farming, a comforting visit with family and friends, and years of daydreaming, I have now begun my travels throughout Central America. I have been in Costa Rica for 3 weeks now, literally traveling from a blizzard to a wonderfully mad dry heat I’ve never known. I can’t say too much yet, being halfway out the door to the beach as usual. But from here I plan to travel north seeking art, permaculture, and various forms of tropical bliss. Internet connection may be few and far between, but it is quite possible I’ll be posting as the story unfolds.

Thanks to my family I was able to have a solo art exhibition in Indiana while living abroad.
“Reclamation” at Waldron Art Center in Bloomington, IN
I returned to the USA in time to see the end of the show and it was a joy for me to get these paintings out into public and especially to find a home for my two largest paintings. Thankful for everyone supporting my art!

life in europe // catalunya

Living in Europe from 2011-2012 gave me a chance to see the art I studied in college in person, to learn about new cultures and walk ancient streets, to be humbled by foreign languages and to understand both the inherent cultural loss and privilege that being born in the USA has given me. Catalunya is an amazing country that is often called a part of Spain, yet is an entirely different country with their own unique language and culture that is very close to my heart. This country was my jumping off point during the year I lived abroad and I fell in love with this tiny village and especially hiking around the holy mountain of Montserrat. Visca Catalunya!
