My practice is rooted in the plains landscape I grew up in and call home. It is an investigation into place, considering human activity on the land, personal history, and the surrounding ecology. It is a cultivation of attention to my surroundings and to making things with my own two hands. I am interested in the points where daily life and art intersect, and our encounters with art through decoration and design, creating environments that reflect this sense of place, whether it is in an artist book, a woodcut print, or crafted object intended for one’s living space.
