My work reflects an abiding interest in the experience of being an individual within a community–a body within an ecosystem. The connections that bring us together, inside of our individual organisms and as people inside groups, are what continue to intrigue me. Within and between the body, the soul, the emotional world, and the mind–what might we find?
