  • Acrylic, paper

  • 9” x 12.5”

  • 2024

  • High-Speed Chase

  • Acrylic, paper

  • 12” x 12”

  • 2025

  • Part of a collection of studies on how wildlife intersects with urban life. Current sociopolitical tensions in the U.S. made me think about ways that innocents may be profiled as criminals because of the way they look. In this painting, the zebra’s stripes have been mistaken for the prisoner uniform stripes of an escaped convict.

  • Geese in the Parking Lot

  • Acrylic, paper

  • 12” x 12”

  • 2025

  • Part of a collection of studies on how wildlife intersects with urban life. These geese nested in a parking lot near my home, invoking feelings of sadness at their lack of natural habitat and affection at watching their nesting journey.

  • Coyotes and Bobcats

  • Acrylic, paper

  • 17” x 22”

  • 2025

  • Part of a collection of studies on how wildlife intersects with urban life. Bobcats have been sighted in my neighborhood for the first time in decades. Two major predator species are now vying for resources in the same suburban neighborhood. Like the geese, they are a pleasure to catch glimpses of, but there is worry about their survival.

  • Snow Adventure

  • Acrylic, paper

  • 12” x 14”

  • 2025

  • The reference for this piece was a photo from a recent ski trip in Bozeman, MT with childhood friends.

  • Tiger Tongues

  • Acrylic paint, acrylic pen, paper

  • 12” x 12”

  • 2025

  • Part of a collection of studies on how wildlife intersects with urban life. I learned that human fingernails and the papillae on tigers’ tongues are both made of keratin (as are hooves!). My own manicured nails are similar to what a tiger uses to both strip its food from its prey’s bones and to groom its own fur afterwards.

  • My Hand

  • Ink, paper

  • 6.5” x 7”

  • 2025

  • I have a genetic disorder that’s been passed down through the women in my family. It’s a connective tissue disorder and causes hypermobility. This is a classic hand study with a twist both metaphorical and literal. The background is inspired by the design on my grandmother’s wedding ring, which I wear daily (and am wearing in the drawing). The Celtic dragon design, a part of my heritage, symbolizes many things. My favorites are that it represents strength, wisdom, and interconnectedness.

  • Witch Tigers

  • Ink, acrylic pen, paper

  • 11” x 14”

  • 2023

  • One of a series of a study on tigers. These take a maximalist approach to their laboratory’s decor.

  • Title

  • Comic book clippings, ink, watercolor

  • 16” x 22”

  • 2025

  • This was an experiment with composition using collage as a reference. The collage was created first from clippings I took from old comic books. In the ink and paint final version, I really wanted to highlight the contrast between the orange and blue colors.
