We are living on the edge of dramatic changes, whether it is the unstable climate, social / political unrest, pervasive surveillance or the rapid rise of Al. The world we know is transforming into something new.

These digital images express emotions stirred by this moment of change. The images, with weeping eyes, insects, machinery, electronic circuitry and fractured faces reflect the unsettling surreal beauty of our modern condition.

This exhibit is about what happens when we go outside, pay attention, and build a practice around what we find.

Loose daily diary sketches layer contour drawing with wet-on-wet watercolor washes to capture moods, weather, and the passage of time. Botanical studies track what plants are doing at different times of year. I return to the same plant across weeks and seasons, watching it change. My notes leave room for questions, research, and thinking out loud.

The nature studies of plants, animals, and landscapes in this exhibit were developed through years of teaching field sketching across Alaska. In April 2026, that practice became a book: 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘍𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥 𝘚𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, published by Timber Press.

It’s a joy to share this work with you, and to invite you into a sketching practice of your own. The world is better when we slow down, pay attention, and learn to find some love for what surrounds us.
