I’m a PhD ecologist and artist who is working on reestablishing myself professionally after taking a break for childcare. During COVID, walking in the woods with my son sparked the idea to make a children’s book. Since then, I have been exploring ways “to do the most good” and use my science background and art skills to communicate environmental issues effectively. My practice currently involves making ecologically-informed art pieces, drawing infographics, and writing and illustrating children’s books, as well as staying active as a naturalist and ecologist.
