During my residency at Huiras Lake State Natural Area, I spent the last year walking, observing, and documenting its unique landscape of lake, hardwood forest, conifer swamp and open prairie, a source of endless inspiration and depth. Working primarily with paint, collage, and mixed media, I allowed the environment to guide my practice both visually and conceptually, shaping a new body of work that responds directly to this space. These repeated encounters were then translated into tactile, abstract compositions shaped by seasonal shifts, enduring plant life, and the textures of the land.

Using rubbings, photographic references, laser-cut forms, and layered materials, I constructed surfaces that reflect both the physical environment and my evolving relationship to it. The work is not a literal record of the site, but a series of fragmented reflections rooted in memory, material, and sustained attention, and a reminder to slow down and consider the value of protected natural spaces.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore design principles while experimenting with a variety of collage materials to create an original artwork inspired by one of the four seasons. Through layering, cutting, and intentional composition, we’ll discover how color, texture, and form can evoke atmosphere, emotion, and a sense of time and place.

Whether you’re drawn to the warmth of summer, the quiet of winter, the renewal of spring, or the richness of fall, you’ll translate seasonal feeling into a finished collage to take home. This small-group workshop includes guided instruction and all materials.

No prior art or collage experience is required. All skill levels are welcome.

Last year I participated in ARTservancy, a year-long artist residency that pairs artists with local land trusts to encourage dialogue between art and conservation. I was partnered with Huiras Lake State Natural Area and have been creating work that explores the layered relationship between observation, memory, and place, using painting, collage, and mixed media to abstractly interpret the site’s shifting landscape and ecology.
