# who I am as an artist I am a soil scientist, artist, and educator who creates whimsical art inspired by soil and nature. My artistic practice aligns with my scientific perspective by viewing both as dynamic processes of discovery and meaning-making. My creative work aims to spark curiosity about soil as a natural wonder worthy of conservation and care. I invite a community of artists, scientists, and nature-lovers into my artistic practice by streaming the process live from my studio on the central coast of California. I live streamed the making of [[Hidden processes]] in entirety - from carving the stamps to hand-pulling the final print.
