All Over the Map, 2025. Image transfer, soil watercolor, soil chromatography, foraged charcoal, and plant monotype on paper
All Over the Map, the mixed media work I created with material (physical and conceptual) from my residency at the Sawtooth NRA in October 2024, is included in the exhibition Re-Inhabiting Conservation: Using Art to Bring Wildlife Conservation Closer to Home at GoggleWorks in Reading, Pennsylvania from May 22 – July 26, 2026. The exhibition was curated by Creature Conserve, a global nonprofit that brings together artists, scientists, writers and other creatives for wildlife conservation.
In the context of this exhibition, “re-inhabiting” (a term borrowed from the Bioregionalism movement of the 1930s) is a call to restore wildlife to native habitats and rethink our relationship to geographic boundaries. It is also a call to rethink boundaries between art and science. It presents an invitation to step out of siloed roles and step up to conservation action. Some artworks in the exhibition draw attention to these barriers and limitations within wildlife conservation, while others point to a hopeful future in which we all become part of the solution. They urge us to actively commit to caring for the animals, habitats, and natural resources around us.
This exhibition features work by 38 visual artists and 13 writers from 11 countries. I am honored to be included in a show that focuses on art as a tool to advance ecological conservation and restoration.
