I started my career as a farmer in 2003 growing food for wholesale markets, a CSA and restaurants in the Boston area. I moved on to Vermont in 2006 where I worked on several farms growing for markets and restaurants. In 2009 I moved to Virginia working for a few years in Upperville before starting a farm for a Michelin three star restaurant in Rappahannock.

In 2014 I took a two year sabbatical for a mix of learning and teaching on farms in 18 different countries growing everything from vegetables and fruit to coffee, coconuts and more. I worked and lived on more than 200 farms and learned invaluable lessons on growing in various climates and conditions using both traditional farming methods as well as modern techniques.

I have enjoyed building natural structures within the garden for many years. These structures provide support for climbing plants while adding art to the garden.

In 2021 I started a journey with botanical pigments with my first indigo plot. I have evolved that practice since then growing, foraging and painting with my own botanical inks.
