I am an fine art printmaker and ecological historian whose work fuses visual arts, storytelling, and environmental history to grapple with the unsettling contradictions of climate change in the boreal north.
In my linocut prints, the North is alive with motion and memory. Reindeer step through thawing rivers and rising light; owls hunt in the winter night; forests remember what the ice forgot. Drawing on years of fieldwork and immersion in northern landscapes, each hand-pulled print captures the contradictions of a world in flux—grace and grief, loss and return—while suggesting the possibility of renewal. My linocuts begins with drawings and field notes gathered in the landscapes where I live and work. Carving the block becomes a way of tracing the pulse of these places. Hand-pulling my prints allows me to explore how memory and renewal are held in texture and line. My work reflects the deep interdependence of people, animals, and land in the North—a region transformed by climate change yet rich with resilience and hope. Through the language of print, I seek to honor that enduring vitality. |
