Artwork
Introducing a curated selection representing a larger body of work, where each piece is a personal exploration of dreams, memories, emotions, and the self. Much of my work is created by reworking earlier paintings, allowing layers of past and present to coexist on the canvas.

Mapping Memory, 2023
This mixed media collage uses abstraction to explore how memory fragments and reassembles in unexpected ways across visual space. It reflects on the nonlinear, layered nature of memory and how our recollections overlap, interconnect, and span across the many chapters of our lives.
It was displayed in the Giertz Gallery at Parkland College’s Around the Block V: Artists from our Neighborhood exhibit during the summer of 2025.
Dreaming Upward, 2025
Travel through this vertical composition of a fragmented dreamscape consisting of mixed media elements. This piece weaves together quiet commentaries on systems that are failing us with each line and orbit representing a choice, path, or rupture. The dream envisions new coordinates for progress.
It is displayed in the Lucretia C. Begley Art Gallery at Lindsey Wilson University’s Alumni Fine Arts Exhibition from October 20, 2025 through December 13, 2025.
A Love Letter, 2025
The painted layers of this mixed media collage hold pieces of my past with colors, shapes, and textures carried forward from an older piece of work. The collaged cutouts come from the Twelfth Edition of Gardner’s Art Through the Ages: The Western Perspective, a book that’s been part of my partner’s life for years.
It’s about the way pasts can weave into each other, how separate stories can start to share the same sentences. Layer by layer, it became a kind of love letter, one made of paint, paper, and admiration for one another’s artistic inspirations.
Grief, 2021
Highlighting the complex layers of grief, this piece features its depths and spirals. Through layered acrylic washes, the composition draws the eye upward toward a focal point, symbolizing the journey through sorrow toward healing. The delicate white lines connecting the layers represent fragile threads of memory and connection that persist amid this pool of emotion.
Trilogy of Me, 2021
Exploring my identity through three equally sized, spiraling forms of color, this piece represents distinct parts of myself.
The top spiral captures energy, emotion, and the spark of hope. The middle blends growth, reflection, and an evolving understanding. The bottom anchors the piece and embodies depth, calm, and the subconscious.
Together, they form a layered self-portrait of becoming.
Winter, 2018
A reflection on the stillness of winter, where color punctuates a white expanse to evoke the quiet complexity beneath this season’s silence.
Spring, 2018
An abstract visualization of the emergence of spring, the excitement of awakening, and the gentle chaos of growth.
Summer, 2018
A channeling of the fullness of summer, where earthy greens and browns meet the warmth and vitality of the season.
Fall, 2018
A representation of the quiet transformation of fall, where puffs of red, white, black, and yellow surface through a burgundy ground.
Helix Nebula, 2019
The Helix Nebula is a bright and visually striking planetary nebula located 650 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius. This acrylic painting isolates a small portion of this vast nebula, inviting a closer, more intimate experience.
Dark Nebula, 2019
This imagined nebula features swirling blues and greens with bursts of yellow light. Though entirely fictional, the painting plays with fluid motion and layered transparency to depict real wonder.
Rosette Nebula, 2021
The Rosette Nebula is a large star-forming region located about 5,200 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros. This painting captures its vibrant reddish hues and the open star cluster NGC 2244, also known as the Satellite Cluster, at its center.
