Artist Statement
I am an educator and storyteller active in environmental and social issues in Southern California and internationally. My interests, knowledge and experience focus on alternative education, participatory sustainable development, and nature-based livelihoods. I am a writer and photographer, and for over 20 years have found a home among San Diego County's coast, mountains and deserts after growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area.
My passions include both the land and the sea, and the watersheds that connect them. I have found great joy and meaning in teaching permaculture, a holistic sustainability education and application system, both domestically and internationally. I deeply value increased dialogue and cooperation between all parties experiencing and investing in the natural environment, including those involved in education, recreation, livelihoods, and conservation.
I see accessibility for the non-expert to participation in these activities as being of the highest priority. Our world needs facilitators offering avenues to reach more people on these topics, cultivating the curiosity, goodwill and passion that can lead to better developed ethics, action and positive change.
Though I have had the opportunity to travel widely in Africa, Asia and Latin America for the sake of relationship building, volunteerism and international development, our radically re-localized lives in the time of COVID inspired me to share photos, stories and organizations from our regional treasures in this exhibit.
A concerted effort is always made to attribute photos to the cultures they pertain to, and a culturally supportive philanthropic donations is included in all sales.
