| Whale Oil's Influence |
My work is exhibited at Mystic Seaport Museum as part of "Restoring a Past, Charting a Future: An Artistic Discovery of America's Whaling Legacy by Dalvero Academy,"
The effect that The Morgan and whaling had
on American history is explored throughout my work in this exhibit. As a result of the capital generated by
whaling, this epic period in history changed our nation from a
maritime country to an industrial nation. Using letters and
journals written by The Morgan's crew members and other historical documents, I examined how America was shaped by one of the most prominent businesses of
its time.

| The World Whaling Built, and How it Changed |
Using a timeline I created an interactive book that revealed the history of whaling in America. This narrative was presented through puppetry, video/animation, and sculpture.

I would like to give
a special thanks to Quentin Snediker, the Director of the Shipyard. Without his support and enthusiasm for art this project would not
have been possible. I am proud to be part of this extraordinary exhibit.
