Based in Seattle on Coast Salish ancestral lands, Ann Marie tells stories about our relationship to land. Her work emerges from explorations of "timeFULness"—deepening consciousness of our place within planetary time and tackling the profound mismatch between human urgency and planetary patience, quarterly profits and glacial epochs. What happens when we align our attention and visions with deep time? How do we bridge the growing chasm between capitalism's relentless pace and the earth's ancient rhythms?
She employs the processes of time and transformation, from the geologic to the ephemeral, to create gallery works, interventions, and encounters across a range of media. Information, histories, and speculative futures become tangible experiences—fishing lure canopies that speak to cultural adaptation, stormwater public art that reveals transformation, and interactive property lines that invite creative growth.
A transdisciplinary dreamer, she bridges art and STEM disciplines through her experience in the arts, landscape architecture, technology, and a childhood shaped by nature's intimate wonders and a scientist's lens. She holds an MLA from University of Pennsylvania and a BFA from School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and foregrounds sustainable practices through LEED and SITES certification education. Writing and teaching complement her practice through publications in interdisciplinary journals, presentations at art and design conferences, and workshops including her "Drawing Dialectical Landscape" session at UW College of Built Environments.
