Wild Persistence: Field Notes 04.07.19
Dandelions  carry  a quiet kind of resilience, growing often where they are not wanted, and continuing despite resistance. In this season, that persistence feels familiar. Strength not as force, but as something tenacious, natural, and enduring.

Still Becoming: Field Notes 02.12.25

This self portrait came out of a season of unraveling and rebuilding. After a series of shifts that forced me to take a harder look at what I will and won’t carry forward, I found myself back at the foundation for figuring out what still fits, what doesn’t, and what I’m still growing into. It’s less about answers, and more about learning to hold both strength and softness at the same time. There’s a quiet sense of steadiness here that I’m learning to trust.

Hushfall Glow: Field Notes 09.29.22

This piece is the quiet exhale at the end of the day, with the theme of “Dreams”. It’s rooted in a familiar view, and captures that moment when the day softens and the light settles in, stretching out and slowing everything down. It’s less about the landscape itself and more about the feeling of being there…still, present, and aware of the shift.

An ode to the Kansas state flower, and the bright beautiful hope that it instills in anyone who looks upon it.

Time-worn Trace: Field Notes 03.10.26

This piece is tied to a day that felt unexpectedly full, marked by connection and a sense of ease. These two fused brachiopods carry a sense of deep time, their forms unchanged and enduring together. They became a reflection of something shared. Something subtle. Something lasting. Something rooted beyond a single moment.

Tangled Lifelines: Field Notes 10.12.25

This piece explores “Roots” in a more literal sense, where existing systems tangle with new growth, forming something not yet fully defined. It reflects the in-between space where change is happening, even if it isn’t visible yet.

Framed: 16X20
