Artist statement
I’m a visual artist whose main focus is photography and digital art. While some of my artwork captures moments from reality, landscape and night sky photography, other artwork captures moments for my imagination. This digital artwork uses a combination of digital painting and altered photographs. Naturally, as a biologist my artwork straddles the intersection of art and science. I aim to champion conservation through art. By capturing a sense of place and by featuring wildlife subjects in unique ways, I create strong connections between my audience in the natural world. People support and protect what they have connections to. I have always wanted to be a photographer. I remember trying to capture the majesty of Yellowstone with a disposable camera. Good equipment is expensive, and it has taken me until this point in my life for my equipment and skills to catch up to my vision. I started producing more digital art as a way to cope with the anxiety of the pandemic. I had expected the art that I produced during the pandemic to be tainted with darkness and dread, instead it has been filled with light and color. I started showing my work in the summer of 2020.
