BurntDirtArt 

Wisconsin's Nature Artist blending science and storytelling to access learning through creating. I celebrate the conservation of native species in their ecosystems; encouraging observation, curiosity, and lifelong exploration. 
Go ART! 🌿🎨🍂🐿️
I demonstrate pastel drawing, painting, sculpting, and fiber arts inspired by the native plants, animals, in Wisconsin ecosystems.
Through years of teaching at-risk and special-needs students. I saw how many people—often across generations—had limited access to engaging science education. I became passionate about finding new ways to make nature accessible, relevant, and inspiring.
Today, I use art as my voice. Each piece celebrates Wisconsin's natural heritage while inviting curiosity, learning, and connection. Whether sculpted in clay, stitched in fiber, or drawn in pastel, my work encourages people to discover the beauty and science of the living world around them.
Growing Observation, Appreciation, Respect, and Thought through art and nature.
