This piece represents Common Brain Coral – Diploria strigosa The 2019 “IPCC report on Global Warming of 1.5 ºC” provides terrifying scientific evidence that the world’s coral reefs simply cannot survive an ocean temperature rise of even 1.5 degrees. Half of the Great Barrier Reef has
This piece represents Staghorn Coral – Acropora cervicornis These plastic mannequin hands are a symbol of the waste that is generated by rampant consumerism, and their arrangement here creates a moment of collective, submerged panic. Struggling against rising ocean levels, it becomes clear that nothing we
This piece represents Great Star Coral – Montastraea cavernosa Every year, 8 million metric tons of plastics enter our ocean. Single-use plastic nanoparticles are systematically poisoning coral polyps. Waste plastic clings to coral and tears its membranes, introducing bacteria and pathogens that swiftly devastates the colony.

A surreal manifestation of the current reality of species displacement due to habitat loss and changing climate conditions.Freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) clustered upon a tree trunk in the same manner that monarch butterflies roost at the end of their continental migration.The transition from the
Sequoia needles, resin on panel, 2019. (16" x 16") This piece is a battle cry for those who have suffered losses due to climate change. In an nod to the traditionally feminine practice of commemorating a loss through needlework, this modified snowflake has been ‘cross-stitched’ in the
Kill Chain (Bee Works) Bee Works is a critically-acclaimed series of mixed-media pieces that raise awareness of honeybee colony collapse and pollinator decline by arranging thousands of dead bees in symbolic patterns. My purpose in creating these artworks is to call for much-needed changes to the
The link between neonicotinoid pesticides and the worldwide decline of bee populations is a crisis that cannot be ignored. I have arranged thousands of dead honeybees in mathematical patterns symbolically linked to monoculture crops, such as the Fibonacci spiral found in the seed head of the
