About Me
Eco-Art Activist: Sculpting for Ecological Awareness.
I’m a sculptor and photographer deeply passionate about using my art to celebrate the beauty of nature and advocate for ecological sustainability. Nature has always captivated me, serving as my greatest muse and guiding force throughout my artistic journey.
Through my photography, I strive to capture the essence of animals and landscapes, offering an intimate view that draws attention to the urgent need for increased ecological conservation efforts. It was this close connection with nature that sparked my passion for environmental advocacy. The more I researched about our planet's ecosystems, the more concerned I became by the looming threat of a sixth mass extinction, driven by industrialization, deforestation, and other harmful practices. This realization ignited a desire within me to use my art to contribute to conservation efforts.
Most recently I have found inspiration in Classical and Greco-Roman figurative sculptures, reimagining those iconic poses with endangered species in place of humans. My goal is to redirect the attention usually given to these historical works toward the incredible but vulnerable creatures that share our planet. Influenced by artists like Robert Wyland, Thomas Medicus, and Gillie and Marc—who have successfully blended art with environmental activism—I aspire to do the same with my work.
After earning my Master’s Degree in Sculpture and Exhibition Design from SUNY Oswego, I moved to Buffalo, New York. Here, I work as an Exhibit Technician at the Buffalo Museum of Science, where the focus on extinction science and ecological sustainability aligns perfectly with my artistic mission. This position offers me a wealth of resources and inspiration as I continue to explore ways to make a meaningful impact through my art.
