Memories Make their Mark
Acrylic and Pastel on Canvas
9”x12”
June 2024
I’ve always been enchanted by the crow’s feet around my older relatives’ eyes, seeing them as joyful memories etched on their faces. My art reflects this admiration for aging, likening wrinkles to tree rings—symbols of personal history and growth. Through layers of paint and pastel, I invite viewers to embrace the depth and beauty of aging, recognizing it as a privilege and a testament to the stories that shape us.

RESILIENCE RISING
Acrylic and Pastel on Canvas
16”x20”
July 2024
This painting honors women who have led the fight against sexual and domestic violence, from Tarana Burke, who started the “Me Too” movement, to Tracy Thurman inspiring the Family Violence Prevention and Response Act alongside other unnamed figures representing those advocating for change. The painting depicts survivors rising from the ashes, symbolizing resilience and hope. Using teal and purple as the primary colors, the vibrancy highlights the importance of this pursuit and raises awareness of sexual and domestic violence.

BREAKING SILENCE
Mixed Media
11"x14"
March 2024
This mixed-media artwork uses acrylic, watercolor, and pastels to depict the struggle of reclaiming one’s voice and agency. Removing the stifling tape reveals a vibrant spectrum of color radiating from the liberated figure. Inspired by the rhythm of sound waves and the impassioned flow of spoken word poetry, the texture and depth capture dynamic energy of authenticity. Each brushstroke embodies a vow to amplify marginalized voices and advocate for those facing challenges of injustice.

TECTONICS AT PLAY
Acrylic on canvas
22"x28"
January 2024
This mossy landscape was inspired by my recent travels in Iceland. The scene is located on the mid-atlantic ridge where two tectonic plates interact. Icelandic landscapes tend to have a very surreal feel to them and I can see why they often film movies there!

JUNE 15, ON TOP OF THE WORLD
Acrylic on canvas
January 2023
In this artwork, I explore how memories may be perceived both individually and collectively. Here, I captured a sacred moment from a recent birthday spent in the Flint Hills. The universal experience of witnessing a sunset invites connection by drawing out memories from each of us. I intentionally selected a small size for this work so the viewer would be compelled to come close and intimately experience my painted memory. I invite you to draw near, embracing the rhythms of nature we share, reminiscing on a moment you spent appreciating a sunset.

HARBOUR HILLS
Acrylic on canvas
February 2023
I spent my earliest years admiring Kansas’s never-ending skies. Although I have since moved away, I still find a retreat in the Flint Hills while visiting my family. Here, I capture the familiar and comforting landscape of my Manhattan oasis.
I hope that the viewer feels the same sense of restorative solace these hills bring me.
