Why Urban Nature?
As the Earth becomes more developed, with rapidly expanding megacities and the increased conversion of land to urban use, the human race faces challenges like global climate change, pollution, and loss of biodiversity. We have an opportunity and an obligation to create places that are healthier for people, wildlife, and plants.
Through art supporting causes and the Urban Nature Club, I work to raise awareness about ways we can experience and support the nature around us — whether it exists in a city, suburb, or small town.
About
As a lifelong environmentalist, I'm especially interested in nature in cities, biodiversity, and citizen science. My paintings, photographs, video, and sound works have been exhibited in Florida, Illinois, Michigan, and Virginia.
