Notions of the Past, Present, and Future

My work focuses primarily on my heritage, my generation, previous generations and my own personal stories. I hope that my work tells a personal story that can illustrate a larger picture. I believe that it is important to learn from history in order to better understand the present and future.

Recent Works

I create threatening situations through art in an attempt to challenge the viewer’s personal boundaries. The fear associated with an object or idea is addressed through a variety of prints, metalwork, and sculpture.

My recent work deals with body image among females and the way that the human body is capable of changing through both natural and unnatural means. I am constantly searching for new ways to construct visually interesting surfaces and textures in my work.
