Besides the usual academic talk, it’s been great to contribute to #GSB2023 in an additional, artistic way. Thanks to the organising committee for inviting me to display my macrophotography in the reception hall!

Beautful drawings of Danish soil profiles by our brilliant 1st year landscape architect students at #kbhuni. Drawings cover the wide range of soiltypes found in Denmark. We teach the students soil science through drawing #soilart #soil

A page out of my soil profile sketchbook from a while back 🍂🎨. As the leaves fall again and I look for creative inspiration, I am revisiting some of my previous artwork and reflecting on how far I have come as a creative. I never expected making art would teach me so much about myself. What have you learned about yourself through your creative practice?

I always stop at construction sites to peek through the fence in search of exposed soil. Here is a soil profile at a suburban construction site that I recreated with watercolor in three different iterations. Which is your favorite? I am a fan of the simplest painting on the right.

I spoke about my soil art creative process today in a talk called “Artistic avenues to explore and celebrate soil habitats and biodiversity”. The video is up on my brand new youtube channel! Take a look 👀 here: https://youtu.be/9J867oKHBu4 #art #sciart #soilart

Hi everyone!

I am a soil scientist by training and an artist at heart. I have been exploring art as a way of making meaning of the world around me beyond what I learn from the processes of science. I create whimsical art inspired by soil and nature. I draw, paint, carve, collage, and write. Happy to be here!
