Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, I acquired my B.A. in Art History with a minor in Environmental Issues from Colorado College. Since joining Tulane University in 2022, I’ve focused my master’s research on contemporary eco art, exploring how climate instability and ecological systems are visualized through art. My thesis examined how art addresses oceanic climate change and uses organic materials to depict sea-level rise and coastal loss. Now, as a Ph.D. student in History of Art and Architecture at Boston University, I’m continuing to investigate how eco art can communicate complex climate data and inspire environmental stewardship.
