Tactile Sensations
I created a drawing of feet covered in simulated textures in order to stimulate the viewer visually.
Flowers of Apathy
This portrait is of a young woman, her face partially obscured by the shadow of flowers.
In the Weeds
My artwork shows a gardener that is part human and part rabbit who is looking at the reader as if caught in the moment.
Slice of Light
This started as one of several experiments with weaving paper, and then for this one I wanted to make a beam of light like from a street light with a night-time background.
A Warm Embrace
This piece represents the emotion and feeling that comes when I hug my mother.
Dragon Divergence
I wanted to show my two clashing roots, so I drew them as highly contrasting dragons.
Four Faces of Steve
My piece was created using MIG welding of forgotten scrap metal to create a tower with faces as the base.
Ties To My Identity
When I think of Oregon, I can smell pine trees, the wildflowers in the fields, and the gray porch around the house I called home.
Apple Blossom
My inspiration for this piece was a poem named “Courage,” by Robert William Service.
The Melting Past
This piece is about the extinction of the sabertooth tiger, an animal that lived during the ice age.
A Peep of Peeps
This piece was about man-made representation of birds, in this case, Peeps being the counterpart to chicks.
Loathes and Laces
Kawaii fashion, a form of cultural and creative self expression, pertains to dressing in adorable attire, brightening up the world.
Unmastered
This piece was created from a photo taken in the Tenderloin District of San Francisco, close to my home.
