SEA WOLF

2025, screenprint on paper, 8.5 x 11 in

Sea wolves are a distinct subspecies of the gray wolf that live on British Columbia’s Vancouver Island and the nearby area. Unlike the rest of their species, they survive by feeding on salmon, seals, and other marine life. Their lifestyle is built out of an unforeseen blend of aquatic and terrestrial elements, giving them a unique ecological niche on the coast.

Pelagic Prints

Pelagic began as a digital work, but with some intensive stencil cutting and a little ink, it is now also a print design. The work illustrates how the added dimension of depth in the open ocean reorganizes how life interacts with each other.

Cherry Blossom Collection

Cherry Blossoms in Red

2025, screenprint on paper, 9 x 11 in

Like many other natural phenomena, cherry blossoms play a unique cultural and seasonal role for humans. The flowers herald the arrival of spring with a sudden explosion of delicate beauty. This artwork responds to the relationship between plant life and passing time.

Night Pollinators

2025, screenprint on fabric, metal, vinyl installation, 33 x 19 in

Bats hold a special pollinator relationship with certain plants that have evolved to flower at night. This constructed scene represents this strange correspondence, with the bats emerging from various spaces to gather around a cascade of blossoms flowering in the night.

CYANOTYPE COMPOSITIONS

Cyanotype is a print process that relies on photosensitive chemicals reacting with ultraviolet light from the sun. Exposing these prints in the open environment near a shoreline on windy days creates a collaborative art practice between the artist and the elements of nature. It is a process of conflict but also compromise. When it is finished, these works cannot be replicated and are truly one of a kind.

TEA LEAF DRAGONS

2024, screenprint on tea bags with crocheted acrylic yarn, 33 x 36 inches

Dragons have captured the human imagination for millennia, becoming a central part of our myths and legends. Just as dragons and monsters are embedded in our stories, storytelling is embedded in the human experience. Each of these dragons is a print on an unfolded tea bag and thus each of these images represents a specific moment of gathering and storytelling. The piece evokes warmth and connection while bearing witness to the repeating power of the monsters that define our collective imagination.

Thanks to AJ Courtney for crocheting the display for this piece.
