I am interested in the passage of time in nature. I focus on how plants grow and die and how we try to preserve and remember their fleeting moments of beauty. 

My work ranges across many media: painting, drawing, collage, photography and installation. I grow, collect and preserve flowers and leaves. I dry them for use in collages. And I make stains from flowers and leaves, rubbing them onto paper, creating traces of their ephemeral color.  

Many record what grows at my home in upstate NY or places I visit and become a kind of diary or scrapbook. I often use plants to comment on how climate change is affecting the plants around me. My work documents a particular time and place while investigating the beauty of nature and its transformation into art.
