I am an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and curator from Portland, Oregon. I have used a conceptual remixing methodology across many disciplines for over two decades, working primarily with installation, video, photography, and hand cut collage.

I have been represented by Elizabeth Leach Gallery in Portland for twenty years. I have an MFA in Electronic Integrated Arts, a MA in Environmental Arts and Humanities, and a BA in photography. I have exhibited in film festivals, galleries, and museums, and have been awarded ten different artist residency fellowships around the world, including in Paris, Austria, Iceland, Switzerland, and Quebec

I have also done work in archives and curating. I just finished helping to create and build the website for the 50 year anniversary website for Blue Sky Gallery with over 1,000 artists. I have curated video exhibitions for Portland Institute for Contemporary Art’s Time Based Art Festival and curated shows which screened at Cornell University, Hallwalls, and Echo Park Film Center.

My main focus is on exploring technology, ecology and the embodied perception and communication of reality. I am specifically interested in the voices and languages of other species, the interconnected and entangled nature of the natural world, and how humans understand our relationship with the multitude of other species we share the world with.

For the last several years, I have been focused on exploring these issues through 3D virtual worlds. Pearl Hyacinth is a multiverse avatar and representative for me in the metaverse. Pearl has been building, curating, and making work within existing social, creative, virtual 3D worlds since 2018.
