I am an artist, educator and designer, living and working in the Pacific. Northwest. I currently teach glassworking courses at the Pratt Fine Arts Center.

My artistic practice investigates the material relationships between body, technology, and environment through interdisciplinary methods that are grounded in making and critical inquiry. Working primarily in glass, I approach making as a form of investigation in which material processes function as analytical tools rather than solely as a means of production. Drawing from both academic and nontraditional modes of inquiry, I use material experimentation to test ideas, document conditions, and respond to site- and system-based observations.The reflective relationship between research and making allows material decisions to emerge from evidence and experience, reinforcing glass as both a responsive medium and a critical research tool.

Most recently, my work has focused on extremes in human and geological experiences, examining fragility and ephemerality while using material processes to trace environmental and climatic phenomena, including rapidly changing Arctic landscapes, and to critically reflect on our entanglement within these systems. I explore questions such as: What is the place and time of the Arctic in a broader age of planetary climate displacement?
