What have I been up to?

In May 2023, I graduated from Westmont College with a B.A. in Art! Over the past year, I have been making art in my free time and sharing my projects on my Instagram account: @byandtotheland. One of my more notable projects has been a multi-part mural at The Refuge climbing gym in Vegas. Using a desert-inspired color palette and simplified shapes, the murals focus on the local plants, landmarks, and scenery of Southern Nevada.

I now live in Las Vegas and spend most of my time outside of work climbing, hiking, and making art. I am ever grateful for access to public lands, especially Red Rock Canyon, and hope my art reminds us to care for our land the way it cares for us. It’s as simple as that.
