As a native of North Carolina, I have had the distinct pleasure of living in a unique biome, a deciduous rainforest. This has allowed me as an artist to explore the textures of all of the unique flora and fauna with it. 

I have been fascinated by the staccato of plant life emerging from a bog, keeled scales, the bark of a white oak, the veins on a fig leaf, and how feathers have different purposes and textures that reflect that. I look for natural items in the world around me to use as tools and as inspiration to create.

The natural intersections of art and science bring the world into everyone’s vision. It is my purpose to illustrate how the two are one visually.
