First Friday Opening Reception April 4th, 2025 at 5:00pm-7:00pm

This body of peatland-themed artwork is inspired by observations and affections I have obtained from time spent in the fens near my cabin in Homer. On behalf of the wild nature that flourishes in these special wetlands, I am exploring an emerging emotional side of my artistic voice by expanding my science illustration into a realm of impression and imagination.
