Encaustic & mixed media paintings
On these pages, you’ll find mixed-media works on paper that trace the quiet thresholds of change. Monochromatic images unfold like symbols and maps of transition, while hand-sewn red thread pierces each surface, sometimes binding, sometimes breaking but marking both separation and repair.
Mashups
Mashups are collections of mixed media images, either drawn, painted, or both, which combine into a single composition. The resulting image captures either one specific moment in time or a broader landscape of related events, uniting them into a cohesive whole.
Black and white drawings
View the collection of large scale graphite, sumi ink, and charcoal work. Each piece explores the expressive potential of these traditional materials through bold gestures and nuanced shading. Take your time to look closely at the surfaces, textures, and details within each drawing.
