Art is not supposed to comfort,
it should make you question everything.

This work is a commentary on the political climate in America including the attack on women's rights,
equal rights, the freedom of speech,
the ongoing inhumane treatment of asylum seekers,
minorities, immigrants,
and the willing destruction of the constitution of the USA.

nevermore
Nevermore is a body of work that amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, focusing on social justice issues affecting immigrants, refugees, Indigenous peoples, and people of color.
This piece titled Nevermore is painted on slate from the Kings Park Insane Asylum, it depicts a fractured Lady Liberty, and instead of the Lazurus poem at her feet, it lists a small compilation of names of those who died seeking freedom at our border. Created during the first Trump term in office, the piece has added significance as it can easily add those who have been murdered by ICE.
broken women mend stronger
The American Monsters Triptych paintings on rough cloth, burlap, and gold lame, depicting large, monstrous, naked, predators. Painted with a female gaze, these oversized beasts are stripped of their attire, with the hope that this bearing of small penis and balls renders them a little less threatening and exposes them for what they really are - monsters. These monsters remain very very dangerous to women everywhere.
