Born in Redford Township, Michigan.

Lives in Detroit, Michigan


Created through the pandemic, quarantines, floods and calamities of the last two years, the three works in this exhibit are a direct result of the strange times we’ve experienced in 2020 and 2021. With Covid-19 thrusting all of our lives into the unknown, I found myself with new–found free time — able to slow down, explore, and revisit ideas that I previously had zero time for. And as another
natural disaster struck, in the form of a deluge and subsequent Edenville Dam failure, our group of close friends found a second tragedy to rally around. In a grim twist, one calamity afforded us the time to clean up the wreckage of another. Throughout it all, kayaking became a way to navigate, observe, meditate, and find solace in nature, as well as spend physically distanced time with friends, in the midst of the most isolating years we can remember. These three artworks – two video works and one sculptural installation – are a glimpse into my 20/20 hindsight view from the kayak.

Kayaking through the Quarantimes, (2020-2021 Digital Film, 20 min.), compiles scenes from 15 different kayaking trips throughout Detroit and Southeast Michigan, and from Saginaw to Toledo, Ohio.

Eden in the Plague Year, (2020-2021, Digital Film, 11 min.), compiles scenes from the Edenville Dam failure and subsequent flooding that forever altered the landscape and topography of Krieger Ranch, the Tittabawassee River, and Wixom Lake.

Woodsmun of the Forest, (2021, Wood and Artifacts from the Bottom of Wixom Lake, 8 ft H x 4 ft W x 2 ft D.), a freestanding sculpture and wall installation created from objects unearthed and retrieved along the old and new routes of the Tittabawassee River, Edenville, Michigan.
