I make art that is the result of my lifelong curiosity with my outdoor environment.

My projects are inspired by what I observe and encounter in nature. I use plants as my medium. By intervening with the growth of these plants, I redirect them into sculptural forms. This work is collaborative; it requires a give-and-take with nature.

Many of my pieces continue to grow and evolve over decades. I have been practicing these complex and painstaking collaborations in the environment for forty-three years.

In a time of pronounced nature deprivation, I hope my work helps reconnect our inner being with the outside world.

Presently, I am the artist-in-residence at Smith College's Ada and Archibald MacLeish Field Station.
