CREATIVE
Place shapes so much of what I care about as a professional, an artist, and a person. Outside of my work in planning and policy, I’m often exploring space and place through different creative outlets. I love seeking out new corners of the world and documenting them through film photography, and I paint in both acrylic and oil, aiming to capture the essence of the places I’ve experienced. I’m happiest outdoors, whether hiking, biking, or walking my dog, Hank; I love taking in how each way of moving through a landscape reveals something different about its character. I’m driven not just to see new places, but to understand and know them.
Here are some samples of my creative endeavors to do that.
