About

 
 

I’m most at home in the natural world hiking, biking, running…and being. In motion or still, at heart I’m an observer. I respect the tradition of animism, which has long felt right to me as a way to listen and see.

When not making art, I work to support youth and women through coalition building, fundraising, and social change. I teach and write about women’s leadership, and co-authored Leaders of the Pack: Women and the Future of Veterinary Medicine (Purdue University Press)

Western Massachusetts is my geographic home and inspiration for much of the plein air painting shown here. It’s the place where I love to explore the relationship between landscape and my inner scape. I cherish my community of brilliant and kind family and friends, and Mavis our dog.
