Come Along with Me
It's difficult to find hope in humanity. In the many applications to our many issues, our differences are an obstacle. I look to animal-kind and I see the relationships some of them share with each other. In what little I see in our species, community and collaborative efforts offer me that little hope I do have.

Traffic Patterns
I've become interested in the brightly colored, repetitive patterns of late 1990s and early 2000s carpets. I present the rhetorical question, "Where did the arcade carpeting go?" As the landscape becomes more harsh for the local wildlife with industrialization, so do our surroundings with minimalist design and bland colors.

Spill It V3
Spill It V3 is the third and final series of paintings that explores the topics of insecurity, the "spilling of guts", and my sense of self represented symbolically through road-killed animals. Here, there's the overarching theme of acceptance. The true colors of the guts are being revealed.

Spill It
Spill It is the first series of paintings that explores the topics of insecurity, the "spilling of guts", and my sense of self represented symbolically through road-killed animals. Here, there's the overarching theme of idealization. The guts are replaced by objects to make the gross sight more pleasant to look at.
