I’m an artist and educator with a focus on local wildlife, particularly birds. Working in a variety of mediums such as painting, printmaking, drawing, and woodworking, I aim to highlight the natural beauty of Wisconsin and the United States. My current project involves illustrating and documenting every bird species in Wisconsin, drawing inspiration from Audubon’s ‘The Birds of America’ while maintaining a focus on ethical practices. Through both my artwork and teaching, I aim to raise awareness about the environmental challenges facing wildlife today while continuing to expand my own understanding of conservation. As an educator, I’m committed to making art accessible and enjoyable for people of all ages, encouraging creativity in a supportive and inclusive environment.
