It’s an honor to be nominated for the Human Impacts Institute's 2025 Creative Climate Awards (CCA)! Feeling a little giddy, to be precise! What a thrill to experience the work—the voices—of diverse artists from around the world coming together to envision Inspiring Futures in the face of our climate crisis, the most urgent challenge of our time.

I'm proud to feature my work The Mothers in Me Will Meet You There [INQUIRE ABOUT PAINTING]. Born from our mothers, we embody a life force that connects us across generations. As we’ve inherited the world, we also shape it for those yet to come. While painting The Mothers in Me Will Meet You There, I was reflecting on the question: “How do we love across time?” My figures glow from within, their interwoven forms dissolving barriers between past and present, and rippling into potential future.

A special Thank You to curator and artist Fran Beallor for selecting my painting "Rise" to showcase alongside 31 creators for this climate-themed group exhibition. Our one planet is warming and warning us. The “fragile moment” we are in has inspired a diverse group of thirty-one creators to turn their artistic visions to the crisis. In a range of abstract, symbolic, realistic and surrealistic styles, these artists address vanishing wilderness, wildfires, pollution, both invasive and endangered species, melting glaciers, threatened corals and desertification. Some artists use text and graphs to highlight issues, including sea level rise. Others use recycled materials which underscore their concern for the environment. The combined voices of these artists allow beauty to blend with sadness, fear to be overlayed with hope and optimism, and apathy to be turned to action.
