I make miniature worlds, three-dimensional snapshots of natural elements, and portraits of plants and their littlest parts in silver, gold, and enamel on copper. Many pieces are inspired by science and the archiving of plant biology, such as illustrations of plant anatomy and models in cross section. My most recent work is directly inspired by the insect eggs and plant ailments that I find, research, and do/do not destroy in my garden.

Four years ago (!), I migrated from Philadelphia, PA to Hannibal, Missouri to join like-minded transplanted artists in renovating beautiful old neglected houses and buildings into studios and living spaces. When I’m not in the studio, you can find me obsessively tending to my ever-growing garden, baking something sweet or savory, or working on the old house and historic jail that I share with my dance party partner, Joachim Knill.
