Bio/Research

I received my PhD in Human Geography from Wilfrid Laurier University in 2024 and my MA in Public History from the University of Waterloo in 2005. Prior to completing my doctoral work, I had a 15-year career in a variety of administrative and creative roles.

I am an interdisciplinary artist specialized in research-creation. My scholarly research is intertwined with my artistic practice. Using arts-based methods I investigate landscapes and more-than-human futures.

I enjoy teaching sustainability and environmental studies, degrowth, environmental communications, and environmental thought.

My research uses arts-based methods to investigate landscapes and more-than-human futures. My current research project, More-than-human Illuminations, investigates the co-creative abilities of non-humans as I will work with them to produce visual artworks in natural spaces. This project was made possible by a grant from the Region of Waterloo's art fund and a partnership with the rare Charitable Research Reserve in Blair, Ontario.

My doctoral dissertation argued that visual artists who live and work on the Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula, in Ontario, Canada, are co-creating artworks with non-humans, which is evidence of more-than-human world-making. Such co-creative experiences are the result of, and catalysts for the kinds of enchantment our human worlds need to form meaningful and holistic connections with non-humans, effectively creating a more inclusive pluriverse.
