As a resident of a riparian community, I’m responsible for protecting the ecosystems of my non-human neighbors and the legacy of intersectional communities that need the waterways to survive and thrive.

I am a third-generation songwriter, second-generation visual artist and my heritage back to settlers and convicts.

My paternal surname Gwynne translates to blond/fair/fae, and my maternal surname Woodgate was given to folks who forests edge.

These names remind me that my kin were traditional Welsh lore-keepers.

Continuing folklore helps me make sense of a world that’s humming with rapid morphologies, wonder, change, and danger.
