Envisions
The Envisions series is the foundation of my work. These works explore how individual moments, repeated memories, and symbolic marks accumulate into a larger story. The title reflects both imagination and reflection: the ability to look back, look closely, and look forward at the same time.
Layered surfaces, obscured text, checkerboard patterns, circles, gestural marks, and shifts in color create compositions that feel both personal and open-ended. Some messages are bold and immediate, while others are partially hidden, mirroring the way memory, truth, and identity often reveal themselves over time.
This series invites viewers to consider the “big picture” of justice, belonging, identity, and collective memory, while also honoring the “little picture” the small fragments, symbols, and emotional details that shape a life.
Icon Series
The Icon Series examines the relationship between public figures, cultural memory, and personal meaning. These works use recognizable imagery, bold color, layered text, and expressive marks to explore how certain people become symbols beyond themselves.
Rather than functioning as traditional portraits, these pieces investigate what icons represent: voice, resistance, beauty, power, contradiction, influence, and collective memory. The layered treatment of each image allows the figure to exist both as a person and as a symbol shaped by history, media, admiration, and interpretation.
The series asks: Who becomes an icon? What do we project onto them? How do their images help us understand our own hopes, beliefs, and identities?
Moments
Moments is a mixed-media collection rooted in the belief that life is shaped by singular, defining instants. Each piece captures a fragment of experience, a pause, a breakthrough, a victory, a turning point layered through paint, collage, texture, and movement.
The work reflects how memories form: imperfect, emotional, and built in layers. This series honors the idea that even the smallest moments carry weight, because moments matter.
Tiny Toys
The Tiny Toy Series uses familiar childhood objects as entry points into larger emotional landscapes. Toys are often associated with play, innocence, imagination, and nostalgia, but in this work they also become containers for anxiety, vulnerability, resilience, and emotional truth.
The tiny toys represent the wild, unpredictable thoughts and feelings that move through us, the memories we carry, the fears we hide, and the small symbols that unexpectedly hold meaning. Through expressive paint, gestural text, splatter, and layered surfaces, each object becomes more than a toy. It becomes a marker of a moment, a feeling, or a version of the self that is still asking to be seen.
This series brings playfulness and tension together, creating work that feels accessible on the surface but emotionally layered underneath.
