I have recently completed the draft of my passion project, a biography of my great, great, Aunt, Maria Chabot. Currently untitled, the work explores the life of a lesbian woman navigating life in the early-mid 1900s Southwest.  Specifically, it focuses on Maria's relationship with the "Mother of American Modernism", Georgia O'Keeffe.

My artwork has been shown across the country, most recently at the Morean Center for the Arts in St. Petersburg, FL, and regularly in studio at Artmosphere St. Pete.

​

My particular professional interests focus on aligning values-based cultural heritage management practices with wildlife and natural heritage conservation efforts. Specifically, my interest is in elevating wildlife, travel, and environmental concerns and how we communicate about and engage with them within the complex conversation surrounding heritage and values. The cultural landscapes born of these connections offer endless opportunities to craft socio-ecological coevolutionary narratives that can be instrumental in planning for heritage endeavors–from tourism, recreation, and community-building to conservation, education, and identification of alternative values.
