Making Art That Supports Climate Solutions
Using a range of digital tools, I make nature-inspired art that is playful and provocative.
I donate a percentage of proceeds to non-profit organizations working effectively to protect our planet
or support those impacted by climate change.
Water Women is a series of digital embroidery portraits highlighting climate refugees.
Place of Worship: Nature offers looming shapes with abstract stained glass elements.
Moody Minimalist includes abstract landscapes with dark hues and dramatic composition.
RegenerAIted is a whimsical forest-inspired AI exploration of the wonders of nature.
ExhilarAIted is an abstract floral celebration of spring.
VenerAIted reminds us to venerate the Majesty of Nature.

Previous work in disruption & decentralization:
Encouraging Adventurous Education
My book, The New Global Student (Crown/Random House, 2009) is the
go-to guide for stressed-out students and frustrated families seeking exhilarating and affordable
alternatives to the traditional K12+4 track. As the founder and lead consultant at Bold School Group, I worked with
educators, parents, students, and others to develop individualized learning adventures.

Boosting Attention & Mindfulness
Back in 2001 (long before apps), I applied the concept of gamification to mindfulness training.
My playful, eyes-wide-open approach to paying attention
captured the imagination of people of all ages in over 100 countries,
and has been featured in 150+ media outlets worldwide.
