My artwork marries science, sustainability, and stewardship. I show Earth’s natural diversity, and I present humans as one small part of inter-connected life. I combine comics, watercolour, and ink in a style I call simple complexity. View my portfolio.
I’m a Master of Fine Art student at The Academy of Fine Art in Trondheim, Norway.* I combine my love of art, nature, community, and learning from knowledge-holders. Read about my first semester here and follow links to later semesters. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Art from University Wisconsin-Madison. *Kunstakademiet i Trondheim (KiT), Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet (NTNU)
I’ve designed and installed gardens and kitchens, been a portrait and nature photographer, and pivoted from graphic design to illustration. I am a Mentee under Creature Conserve’s Mentorship Program from October 2025 to March 2026. Learn about my mentorship journey.
I’m outside as much as possible. I love living life slowly, noticing the details, and enjoying good food with friends. I’m married to a wonderful man, and we’re navigating life together after stroke. Listen to a podcast chat about life with Maria de los Ángeles Rubio Gómez:
