My work includes paintings, installations, and community art projects informed by the exploration of the human/nature relationship and my sense of urgency about the unraveling of our social and environmental systems. I consider the solitary practice of painting as the essential conversation from which the public community projects evolve. I live in Vermont and I teach at the University of Vermont within the Department of Art and Art History as well as the Environmental Program and the Institute for Global Sustainability.
