My public art practice begins with place and the local ecology, history, and the characteristics of light, terrain, and life that make it distinct. I research native plants, birds, and animals not to illustrate them literally but to understand how natural systems behave. I’m interested in rhythm, density, and patterns of movement. These observations become the foundation for large-scale environmental graphics that translate the qualities of a region into color, form, and structure. My work is designed to read with clarity from a distance while revealing new details up close, rewarding both the passing traveler and the lingering observer.
