I first fell in love with the prairie when studying art at UNI. Wandering the twisting paths of the restored prairie calmed my mind. As I drank in grasshopper droning, late summer’s scent of grass, the pollen, the leaves, and the many colors, I felt grounded and renewed. The prairie sang to me in a way that allowed me to simply be.
I began my prairie series after I moved to Des Moines. I immersed myself in the local prairie, sketching and collecting photos, and samples for reference. I wanted this series to capture the feelings I had while wandering those prairie paths.
This idea blossomed into the series Prairie Seed Dreaming. The series explores the relationship between woman, plant, and pollinator, through botanically accurate renderings of native plants, and dreamlike imagery of women immersed in the prairie landscape. As the divide between woman and prairie blurs, the roles separating them blur, each becoming wholly dependent on the other.
Through these paintings I invite the viewer into the prairie. I will use this series to raise awareness about the importance of prairie restoration and open a dialogue about the benefits of planting natives for both pollinators and people.

~The Story~
This body is a seed pod for spidersilk, and thistle down, sun dew light, and star smeared caverns. Ever the chrysalis. You keep waiting for me to emerge. To become that beautiful thing. But my cycle is never ceasing, ever dancing. I am wood sorrel child this morning, raspberry women this evening, lichen crone at sunset, loam and worm, and owl bones at night.
Reviews
I judge art by how often I want to look at the art. This was a gift to a friends child under 10yo and asked her to also pick a painting that she wanted to look at daily.
