I’m an artist based in Saint Charles, Minnesota, creating work at the intersection of art and environmental advocacy. My encaustic pieces - made with beeswax, damar resin, and native Minnesota plants—reflect cycles of growth, decay, and renewal. Inspired by daily connections to nature, I use natural materials to explore the balance between control and chaos. My work invites reflection on the beauty and fragility of the natural world, with preservation as a quiet but persistent message.

I'm developing spaces for native plants at my home and at Riverside Central Elementary.
