Looking longingly at the past, “Cypress” emerged. Both through documenting trees I saw and images from the Tulane Archive, I created a truly Goliath cypress tree, filled with 11 birds mingling and flying through its branches.
This edition is very limited with only a few left in the edition.

During my month and a half residency at Big Cypress Preserve, located next to the Everglades, I would canoe and drive around, documenting with photographs and drawings everything I saw. “Mangrove” is a collage of many of these photographs sketched onto wood and then carved out to emphasize my favorite moments in this swamp.

“Marie of Land and Sea” is part of a series of woodcut portraits depicting the crisis of land loss in Southern Louisiana. Featuring Melissa Marie Martin, her portrait showcases her memories of growing up in Chauvin Louisiana and the fabric of her family dictated by living with the catch and sounds of the seasons. Chauvin, LA is at 3-ft elevation, all that is left of this once forested town is a tiny sliver of land heading due south into the Gulf of Mexico. Melissa continues her work of understanding and promoting her culture through her restaurant Mosquito Supper Club. A family style Cajun dinner and a culinary glimpse into growing up in Terrebonne Parish, on Bayou Petit Caillou in Chauvin, Louisiana. Her flagship supper club celebrates the bounty of shrimpers, oyster fishermen, crabbers and farmers that define the super club's cuisine.
“Marie of Land and Sea” celebrates a community that is disappearing, demonstrating that erosion in Louisiana is not just land loss but cultural and identity loss as well.

Based on photographs I took while canoeing Shell Bank Bayou. I rounded a bend and on a low lying branch was a barred owl. It was calling continuously to another nearby owl but it took more than 15 minutes for me to locate its companion camouflaged within the Spanish moss. This unveiling emphasizes what I love about the swamp, an ecological density where what we are able to see is only a fraction of the whole ecosystem.

This woodcut references the practices of Operation Migration, and supporting conservation groups, who have successfully bred and released over 400 whooping cranes into the wild and then trained them to follow their historic migration path through the use of ultralight planes. In my woodcut these characters, both human and bird, share space in an iconographic style that references stained glass windows and medieval paintings of religious figures. Calling upon our familiarity with these religious paintings, I elicit hope for a future where conservation is more commonly adapted into mainstream culture.

Starlings, introduced between 1890 and 1891, were brought to the states by a Shakespeare fanatic who wanted the United States to be populated by every bird that Shakespeare mentioned in his plays. Despite the European starling’s insignificant role in only one of Shakespeare’s plays, the bird once introduced seized a prominent place in American life. Quickly growing in numbers these Starlings multiplied from a mere 100 to more than 200 million today.
