I am an environmental scientist and visual artist. As I work within both the science and art disciplinary silos, telling a story of place is critical part of my work. I use scientific data methodologies to highlight environmental issues, while working in symbols of place to unravel layers of womanhood, gender, and race. My current body of work "Mas Que", uses found objects, tourist textiles, and legend to shed light on environmental justice within an ecotourism site.
