About this user
My journey as an environmental artist began during my childhood in Northern California, where I loved to make constructions on the beach from sand, rocks, and seaweed. Throughout my life, I've created art from and in nature as a personal practice. Since 2004 I've added a social and environmental dimension to my art-- hosting group art-making events and workshops, teaching in public and private schools, training teachers and museum staff, and setting up hands-on "Create-With-Nature Zones." At UC Berkeley's Blake Garden, my permanent nature zone is a destination for school groups, where I facilitate creative experiences for students. My endeavors are in the tradition of social sculpture, in service to nature and to society. Collaboration with other artists, environmentalists, scientists, educators, and parents is key to my work. I strive to create models and methods for collective creativity; to connect people of all ages with each other and with the natural world; and to inspire joy, spontaneity, and environmental action.
