My artwork marries nature and human life. I combine comics, watercolour, and ink in a style I call simple complexity. I show Earth’s natural diversity, presenting humans as one small part of inter-connected life. View my portfolio.
I’m newly graduated with a Master of Fine Art from The Academy of Fine Art* in Trondheim, Norway, where I combined 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.

I’ve designed and installed gardens and kitchens, been a portrait and nature photographer, and pivoted from graphic design to illustration. I was a Mentee under Creature Conserve’s Mentorship Program from October 2025 to March 2026. Learn about my mentorship.
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:
