aunde is a Pacific Northwest artist with Irish roots; a third-generation descendant of Irish immigrants. Her current home is on the traditional lands of the Coast Salish tribes. She is guided by questions of de-centering humans to expand conversations around the rights of Nature. If, according to Irish lore, a spirit of “the Other Crowd” might be found in any shape, how does one show that Otherworldly spirit? Her work has been displayed in environmental exhibitions including "Creative People Leading Climate Action" at UMass, and "Earth Action Initiative" at UC Berkeley. "Limina" received the Allied Arts MFA scholarship. She presented "Limina: Reflections of Identity through the Lens" at the American Conference for Irish Studies. aunde holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts and has recently completed coursework in Data Visualization. She is currently working on a Masters in Humanities with a specialization in Irish Studies where she hopes to weave together literature, archaeobotany, data, and art. She is creating new work and exploring collaborative opportunities to create with others whose interests intersect with her own.
