Group Shower
In August 2023, I spent a week focusing my time on making drawings with charcoal. I wanted my compositions. to spontaneously arise through repetition of organic shapes that had figurative qualities. Motifs of shower heads and slug-like people appeared in each work. The series took on its own life, and a convoluted narrative seemed to connect the works. I then used these drawings as templates for paintings in January 2024.

Machines that Breathe
A series that tows the line between figurative and abstract work. The paintings begin with using oil stick to draw on canvas. As soon as a line begins to create something representational, it is forced towards abstraction.
