VANISHING POINTS

Mountains, mining, and Appalachia’s disappearing landscape.

[Upcoming Thesis Exhibition]

I am an artist inspired by nature and disquieted by environmental distress.

I depict landscapes marred by industry, pollution, and injustice, with my most recent projects focusing on the aftermath of resource extraction and its reverberations through Central Appalachia. This research reckons with the socio-cultural influences of the coal industry and its profound destruction of the region’s landscape. I traverse hills and hollers to witness flattened mountaintops and erased ecosystems first-hand. Using stone lithography, paint, and raw materials to represent these barren wastelands, my installations create a space for reflection and dialogue.
