CONSERVATION WORK
Truly aligning my love for making art and my desire to protect the natural world that inspires it, partnering with conservation organizations is a seamless and organic path. Through in-depth conversations and immersion in landscapes I am given the honor of representing the mission of these organizations in paint, stitch, and sometimes song. It’s often where my art feels most at home to me.
Below are some of the projects I’ve worked on:
Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy - 2026
As the second artist in their Artist Collaboration Series, I created multiple original pieces to represent the newly acquired “Ridge” property, focusing on indicator species in various present ecosystems.
Big Bend Conservation Alliance - 2022
Using both linocut printmaking and painting, I created multiple pieces for a three-tiered end-of-year giving campaign. One design, focused on the dark skies of Big Bend National Park, was represented in multiple original paintings, hand pressed linocut prints, and t-shirts.
Big Bend Conservation Alliance - 2024
For their year-end giving campaign, I designed a bandana representing multiple species dependent on the Rio Grande for survival. I worked closely with mulitple scientist in the region along with the director to pinpoint specific species to depict. This bandana was sold to raise funds for the River Ranger program at the BBCA.
