I am a queer mixed media artist and regenerative organic farmer raising vegetables & sheep in New York’s Upper Hudson Valley. I co-own and operate Meltwater Farm and have been growing food, saving seeds, stewarding native ecosystems, shepherding, making art and building community around food for the past decade.


My art blends traditional and digital media to create grotesque and fantastical celebrations of the land and how we relate to it.


You can find my work at the farmers market, on agroforestry event posters, in The New Farmers' Almanac Vol. 7 Supplement, and whatever we dream up next. 


Collaborators and co-conspirators perennially welcome.
