For six months during the spring and summer of 2016, I teamed up with NOAA’s Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program as artist in resident. After a month of training in Honolulu, I worked as an embedded member of a three-person field camp at Pearl & Hermes atoll in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. During the residency, I worked as a field biologist collecting important population assessment data on the Hawaiian monk seal. I will use the experience of working as a field biologist to inform a new body of work focused on wildlife conservation and environmental stewardship.
An exhibition of work based on this research will debut in the fall of 2017. In the meantime, I will update my site with pictures and notes about my collaboration with the Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program and my time in the field.
