I create art works and projects that challenge observers and participants to understand the impacts of human consumption and development on natural eco systems and environments.
By creating this type of art I hope I can help connect people with nature, and empower them to become active in trying to help make positive environmental choices.

Garden Path Healing Blanket

May 23, 2009 I created the garden path healing blanket with the children from the Unitarian Universalist Church of Milford, New Hampshire. We made flowers using colorful pre-felts, and then the seeds and other organic materials were added. The church is going to keep part of the 3'x8' blanket to decorate their Sunday school room. They will be cutting off a section and sending it to a UU church in West Virginia.

Before the blanket was made the congregation was invited to attend a power point presentation about mountain top removal coal mining. The section of blanket mailed to West Virginia will be planted to help restore the damaged landscape by the mining of coal and connect our communities.
