I am a full time fisheries biologist and part time artist living in Bellingham, Washington. My artwork ranges from block printing to watercolor to digital illustration inspired by the Salish Sea bioregion and Alaska.

My life and art are deeply connected to Southeast Alaska, where my mom grew up and where I spent many summers exploring my love of fishing, island camping and being on the water. Catching Dungeness crab and eating them on the beach, tromping through the muskeg in search of huckleberries, learning to identify salmon species as I steered them into the net from my fishing rod—all of these moments are a part of who I am today and continue to inspire my life and artwork. I have also spent two summers as a commercial fisherman in Juneau and Bristol Bay, Alaska.

For as long as I can remember, my visual artistry has been intertwined with my love of ecology. I am inspired by the beauty and power of the plants and animals with whom we share a home and am called to share their stories through art and environmental advocacy. When I am not on the river counting salmon or working on her art business, you might find me cooking, making music, cold water swimming, kayaking, hiking around Whatcom county or relaxing on the couch with my partner and our cat Moe.
