Paint pens on mat board
This piece combines a recurring hand-drawn pattern with figurative elements to explore life lived “in the head.” The weighted brain, extended arm, and phone become a portrait of isolation and hyper-consumption of information, reflecting both personal and cultural relationships with technology.
California Burning (2022)
Watercolor collage on mat board
Inspired by years of living on the Central Coast of California, this work reimagines the idyllic “California Dreaming” narrative against the backdrop of climate crisis. Layered flames consume the landscape, echoing wildfire seasons and the fragility of the environment, while contrasting colors highlight both beauty and devastation.

Paint pens on mat board
This image combines a rainbow-colored heart with a television-headed figure to comment on the absence of queer representation in U.S. media during the 1980s and 1990s. The missing head suggests erasure, while the vibrant heart points to identity that was unknowable, yet still present.
