Current + In-Progress (Intergalactic Traveler)
This new body of work explores themes that I have investigated in the past through the lens of solo exploration in landscapes with vehicular means or other methods of transportation - like UFOs. Utilizing unique opportunities of residencies, I hope to create this new cohesive body of work Intergalactic Traveler. Stay tuned!

“The Alien” or “Star people” is a common motif within my work. The Alien becomes a metaphor for otherness. I use them as a way to tackle the challenges of movement in a non-direct way. While at first glance they may seem like these happy go lucky creatures when time is taken to peel back their visual layers there is something more. The wear and tear of their bodies capture a lived turmoil or the handmade knitted socks show that they were once deeply loved. It is these details that I use to really flesh out the deeper, more serious narrative.
A Long Way From Home

Originally stemming from my background in graffiti culture, these basic fused faces utilize minimal marks that at first glance appear as a blank expression, but the more time is spent with the work, the more these faces reveal. Their seemingly blank expressions morph into slanted mouths, suggesting a smirk or crooked grin. These faces only show their true nature to those who take the time to appreciate their detail, nuance, and craftsmanship.
