I spent most of my time outside at the beach\, rivers\, and in the woods which created a strong connection to nature. I studied drawing\, painting\, collage and ceramics; graduating from Humboldt State University with a bachelor’s degree in art. I treasure nature and animals\, which have been incorporated into most of my pieces. \nThe Pacific Northwest and Mojave Desert provide a natural beauty that continues to inspire the development of my work. In my studio I can call on past and current experiences\, visions and illustrations to create these unique impressions of the natural world. My physical journeys are reflected in my designs and I am intrigued to follow this path and see where it takes my art. I keep exploring the outdoors to develop this vision of the natural world as I see it.

SUMMARY:Using Colonizers: Botanical Prints
DESCRIPTION:Let’s take an in-depth look at the history of some highly invasive local flowers. We’ll look into why they were introduced\, what ways they’ve impacted our PNW environment and how we can use them responsibly. When we remove their flowers from the environment\, we can prevent seeds from forming and therefore future spreading. \nThis will include all the materials you need to create a printed tote bag. If you want to bring some personal blooms to experiment with\, you may! \nInvasive flowers to prioritize: Scotch Broom\, Butterfly Bush\, Clematis \nThe location of the workshop itself will be indoors at Bark’s Office at 351 NE 18th Avenue\, Portland\, OR. 97232. This event will be classroom-style learning so bring pencil and paper if you want to take notes. Gender-neutral restrooms will be available. \nThank you! \nQuestions?
