Organic shaped wall sculptures made from a combination of paper, fabric, repurposed aluminum craft beer cans and wire. Each piece is hand stitched together and painted in acrylic and enamel paint.
The series is inspired by Nature, abstracting the forms enough so that no one identity can be claimed. Upon close inspection one can find the text and bar codes sneaking out from under the paint revealing their consumer origins.
The Artisanal series investigates the commercial trend of proclaiming something artistic or crafted as a selling point in other products than Art as a way to distinguish them and justify a higher commercial value.

Painting meets sculpture in these mixed media artworks. Using a combination of canvas, fabric, paper and repurposed aluminum from craft beer cans. Works are hand stitched and woven together to create the complex and undulating surfaces.
These works were all completed during the “no collussion” era of Trump sayings. “Crafty” being a term that can be used for multiple purposes, from being interpreted as clever or skilled to devious and deceptive these works play with duality. They are between painting and sculpture, craft and fine art and the surfaces are created to appear both sharp and soft at the same time.

Crafty Collaboration Series. 2018
Solo installation at 4 Times Square with the Durst Organization / Chashama, 2019
This series was created with a merit scholarship from Urban Glass in Brooklyn, NY and a Brooklyn Arts Fund Grant for experimental glass blowing.
Glass is blown through a copper wire form then incorporated into mixed media works where repurposed aluminum, steel and copper are combined with plastic and enamel paint.
Alluding to representation of botanical forms, these works are abstracted and almost alien or surreal appearing plant formations. The works can exist singularly or installed together in an installation format.

Made during the SIP Fellowship at the EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. Works are a combination of collagraph, linocut and silkscreen prints. Each print is original, hand cut and collaged together using chine-collé techniques.
Plates were created as drawings of the Artisanal series of sculptures and translated into various forms of types of printmaking plates. The term “Carbonation” in their title hints at this origin as the sculptures are largely made from repurposed craft beer cans. It also refers to the carbonization of the environment.
“Collection” refers to the work as a series, but also their fabric inspirations. Each is titled after a season of the year that the fashion industry often uses to describe their collections and encourage consumerism.
The work has an abstracted botanical, almost vintage fabric appearance and this is a commentary on the way we think and describe seasons with Climate Change. Where we associate certain colors with temperatures and seasons that are not what they used to be.
