My life work has been motivated by my desire to live accountably to that relationship, and to support land relationships for all people.
  
  I use my training as an artist and social scientist (with degrees in Visual and Environmental Studies and Geography) to teach courses on land relationships -- and to support public education programs through community partnerships such as the Art of Food in Frogtown and Rondo.
  
  I also write articles and creative works exploring land relationships, especially about urban food land uses. I am very interested in how growing food near where people live can help people share strategies for re-building food systems to rely less on practices that exploit people and land, and that instead build health, community wealth, robust ecosystems, and social healing.
