I am a runner and an adventure racer, drawn to long distances, difficult terrain, and the quiet clarity that comes from sustained movement through landscapes. From 5K races to ultramarathons, and through adventure racing that blends trail running, kayaking, mountain biking, and orienteering, I experience the world with my body as much as my mind. These practices have shaped how I pay attention to systems, patterns, limits, and interdependence, and have grounded my love of the outdoors and environmental stewardship.

That same curiosity drives my artistic practice. Trained initially in physics, I have long been fascinated by how the world works, from physical forces to ecological and political systems. I ultimately came to art as a way to ask questions that cannot be resolved through measurement alone - complex, often wicked problems that engage intuition, reflection, and multiple ways of knowing. Art, for me, is a method of investigation and a means of sharing discoveries.

For the past fifteen years, my work has explored the intersections of science, the environment, and human influence. My practice has ranged from delicate platinum prints to mixed-media constructions incorporating digital printing, encaustic, and wood. Recent projects engage power, politics, and sustainability in the landscape, considering place as both a physical environment and a site shaped by history, ideology, and competing interests.

I am currently the Associate Director of Curriculum, Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor of Photography, and founding Director of the Social Ecology Studio at the University of Georgia, where I value collaboration across disciplines and working alongside experts to exchange questions, knowledge, and ways of seeing.
