Plant your Garden is an abstract piece that has a large root system (the light teal) layering on the rest of the piece that contains light compositional nods to home gardening.

The viral practice of Cold Plunging inspired this cool toned piece. Although not warm, this painting has a composition in which the viewer wants to jump in.

I sketched as my friend practiced her movement performance. Her floating inspired this piece. I inserted my sketches of the performer into this painting. A flurry of lines emanate from all sides of the dancing figure. The addition of the figure to the piece gave the work a sense of infinite space and liveliness.

Under the Abstract piece "Rita" lies a figure painting of a woman (named Rita) I spent a month with back in 2017\. She was a beautiful person inside in out. In her old age she had lost her sight and as an effort to be apart of the art community she started live-modeling. The huge figure painting was my favorite because I knew the woman well, but it was time for the canvas to have a new life. As I added color and shape, I channeled Rita and her lively energy.
