As an artist and educator, my work is largely about people and relationships. More specifically in an ecological sense, I am interested in our human relationship to nature. I have explored this interest in many different ways including performance events, drawings, and sculptures.

My most recent commission is called Heliotropis and is a robotic sculpture in the form of a flower. This techno-biotic sculpture changes its form and behavior based on changes in the physical environment. Heliotropis creates a definite visual link between its physical form and the conditions of its immediate environment. This relationship explores the interactions between machine and nature, as well as the interactions between man and nature.

As computers and artificial intelligence proliferate and become woven into all aspects of our human existence, the desire to protect the environment and promote healthy ecologies must also grow. In addition to engaging the public and creating greater awareness about these interests, I see my sculptures as a way of visualizing unseen forces and re-imagining nature.
