Always a bit of a tricky question, subject to season and opportunity. During the spring and summer months when there are daytime low tides in Puget Sound, I work with The Seattle Aquariums Beach Naturalist Program, helping introduce the public to the incredibly amazing life found on/in our local beaches, tickling invertebrates and talking habitat and sexlives. I occaisionally teach a continuing education class covering these critters, Puget Sound ecology, and how human commerce and climate change are altering their widely varied and vulnerable habitats.

Always a bit of a tricky question, subject to season and opportunity. During the spring and summer months when there are daytime low tides in Puget Sound, I work with The Seattle Aquariums Beach Naturalist Program, helping introduce the public to the incredibly amazing life found on/in our local beaches, tickling invertebrates and talking habitat and sexlives. I occaisionally teach a continuing education class covering these critters, Puget Sound ecology, and how human commerce and climate change are altering their widely varied and vulnerable habitats. Although I have a punctuated history of working in two dimentional media - prints, drawing and illustration (scientific and otherwise) - my work these days is primarily relief sculpture cast in concrete and/or bronze that can be used as architectural elements in pillars and walls, as post caps and decorative framing, ETC. or, as stand alone pieces. As I'm hopelessly smitten with most all things wild - and often beautifully weird - my subjects tend to be these critters, their connections, trials and tribulations in relationship to us and our overwhelming impact on their ecology and survival ...which ultimately effects US ALL.
