I have recently completed the draft of my passion project, a narrative nonfiction/biography of my great, great, Aunt, Maria Chabot. The work explores the life of a lesbian woman navigating life in the early-mid 1900s Southwest.  Specifically, it focuses on Maria's relationship with the "Mother of American Modernism", Georgia O'Keeffe.

My artwork has been shown across the country, most recently at the Morean Center for the Arts in St. Petersburg, FL, and regularly in studio at Artmosphere St. Pete.

​

My particular professional interests focus on aligning animal and marine protected area advocacy with values-based natural and cultural heritage management practices. Specifically, my interest is in elevating animals and ecosystems within the complex conversation surrounding heritage and values. It is impossible to craft socio-ecological coevolutionary narratives about heritage that animals and environments do not figure in, yet they are often absent from these narratives. My goal is to ensure they are not just included in these conversations, but central to them.
