As an artist who loves biology, when I kayak, hike or go to the beach I take a field guide with me so I can name the various plants and animals that I encounter. Their infinite patterns, textures and colors fascinate and inspire me. I combine structures from plant, fish and fowl to design my own biomorphic forms. I am particularly fascinated by seed-pods because they symbolize both the beginning and the end of a life cycle.
