About / CV
|
I am a 22-year-old artist with roots all along the west coast. My paintings observe ecological phenomena through a compassionate lens that explores the balance between growth and destruction in the natural world. I am entering my fifth year at Western Washington University in Bellingham pursuing a BFA in Art with a concentration in painting, and a minor in Biology. When I am not creating art, you can find me directing and singing in my university's treble a capella ensemble, leading birdwatching hikes, reading, and spending time outdoors.
