The Women and Traditional Geometries series began as an exploratory portraits collection, focusing on simple silhouettes and backgrounds. In the earliest works (up to 2021), you can see vague formations of what would become a more focused series. In the summer of 2023 the series began to embody its true essence with five new works: folk-art inspired paintings that highlight the diversity of the female experience that is historically overlooked and under-appreciated. These pieces -- the true genesis of the Women and Traditional Geometries series -- combine minimalist female silhouettes with intricate, colorful patterns inspired by traditional geometries from Greek, Irish, and Islamic folk art. As the series continues, each new work is based on increasingly in-depth research into folk art and the roles and portrayals of women in ancient cultures throughout the world.

My Lore & Legend series is inspired by fairytale, folklore, and the supernatural. In this series I purposely do not over-define subject and setting to allow each viewer to bring their own story to the piece. Much like folktales themselves, the paintings evoke conflicting emotions, leave many questions unanswered, and offer no clear distinction between human and monster. They leave us with feelings we can’t quite put a finger on, but we know we want more. In this series I celebrate intuition, spontaneity, and letting go of strict definition. I embrace the foggy edges around reality as a liminal space where we can discover hidden things about both our baser and higher natures.

In my Shadow Work series I delve into the depths of the psyche, where monsters lurk in the shadows of the mind. I use soft pastel to create these reductive compositions from a place of raw intuition and unfiltered emotion. I do not have a plan for what the work will look like when I begin; instead, I put pastel to paper and let the images emerge themselves. What I try to bring to light through this series is that the monsters who lurk in the dark corners of our minds are not malevolent creatures, but fellow inhabitants of our own consciousness that are achingly human. They give form to the ineffable and unsettling aspects of the human experience. They mirror our own complexities and, in their vulnerability, invite us to extend compassion to ourselves.
