General

I am generally interested in the complexities of nature and choose problems that require at least a paper and pencil to work out. I use data, mathematical models, and illustrations as tools to understand the beauty and complexity of nature. When not behind the command-line building models and visualizing data, I can be found exploring California’s extensive backcountry on foot, bicycle, or skis and documenting my adventures through illustration, paintings, photos or prose.

Now (2025-11-15)

My life’s purpose is to become the best “Renaissance Human” I can be. The current instantiation of that is a 5 year learning curriculum that will challenge me across multiple domains: art, storytelling, writing, mechanical engineering, data visualization, physical, ecology, social, and entrepreneurial. Read more about my 5 year goal project.

The current show at www.darmera.studio features paintings by Marie Brennan and Funerary Arts. The show runs until December 6, 2025.
