Every choice I make has Mother Earth in mind.
I want my supporters to have faith that when they support me, they are also supporting the environment. Starting with the videos I make and how I source materials for artwork, and ending with the companies I support and how my artistic creations are brought to you––you can rest assured that I am doing everything I can to be a low-waste individual, and to encourage others to do the same.
I’m a proud member of Nature First: The Alliance for Responsible Nature Photography
I’m dedicated to following the Nature First Principles:
Prioritize the well-being of nature over photography.
Educate yourself about the places you photograph.
Reflect on the possible impact of your actions.
Use discretion if sharing locations.
Know and follow rules and regulations.
Always follow Leave No Trace principles and strive to leave places better than you found them.
Actively promote and educate others about these principles
sustainability + art
—
materials
⟡ I forage naturally fallen wood and branches from my local woods for some art creations
⟡ when painting, I use painting cloths instead of paper towels
⟡ I am conscious of where I get my supplies, and buy almost everything I need by repurposing, or from other small businesses
—
shipping
⟡ all shipping and packing materials are 100% recyclable––down to the labels! I encourage you to recycle or reuse everything you receive in your order.
⟡ my orders now ship with corn-based packing stars that you can reuse or dissolve in water once your package has safely arrived
⟡ all of the tape I use is biodegradable paper tape
⟡ I am working to offset all of my carbon emissions from shipping––that should be happening soon!
brand collaborations
you will never see me work with a brand that I do not support, or that I haven’t done extensive research on. I am not interested in greenwashing or using sustainability as a marketing tactic, nor am I interested in unethical working conditions. if a brand’s priority is not the planet and the treatment of its workers, you will not see me work with them.
