My work examines contemporary natural resource issues and explores the notion of geologic time relative to human history. My most recent series is called �Remembering America�s Coastal Cities,� which shows the higher sea levels in the year 2500 (as based on current, peer-reviewed science) superimposed on coastal cities of the 21st century. I studied art and art history at Carleton College (BA) and won a post-graduate art residency at Carleton for one year. I have additional degrees in environmental engineering and water resources management from the University of Washington (BSCE, MSCE). I directed water-resources planning and operations for the Washington DC metro area, and later worked with Congress on environmental legislation. My passion for communicating science to non-technical audiences is a thread found throughout my work as an engineer, policy analyst, and artist.
