Most of my early professional work was ethnographic, having received doctoral training in anthropology. I later began crafting stories with materials, sounds and light to express what is beyond language. I still work in relationship with people but mostly, nowadays, with plants and soils whose lessons are far worthier of our attention.

Plants are in constant conversation—not just with soils and light but also with us. To celebrate that relationship, I curated a few gifts for NYT’s Wirecutter that will inspire the green thumb in your life to learn about, tend, and celebrate the plants around them in unexpected, delightful ways.
Recognizing the power of art to make abstract biological and geochemical processes visible and accessible, the Urban Soils Institute added an Art Extension Service in 2018. The AES brings together artists, scientists, and educators to create collaborative public art projects through residencies, symposia, and exhibitions in the United States and abroad.
The goals of the Art Extension Service:
Provide opportunities for artists and soil scientists to explore common interests and passions
Engender stewardship of our soil and ecology
Create an interactive community of scientists, artists, and citizens
Promote soils education through fun, accessible, complex, poetic and unexpected means
