The focus of my work is on the beauty and enigma of light and color and how time affects both. I use translucent supports, which create ambiguity about the surface location and shifts light/shadows, enabling me to subvert and activate the observer's experience. In unison with concepts developed by the Light and Space artists, the phenomena of light in natural environments is my foundational core.
Americas Series
Benito Ocasio’s half-time Super Bowl performance in February 2026 emphasized unity, in a performance that reminded viewers that America can be the entire hemisphere from North to South America.
In this time of ecological and political crisis, the performance had an impact. I make work that represents bird species: I began to envision using these avian symbols to visualize the diversity and scope of this landmass of two continents —8,700 mi from north to south, with climate and ecology that range from Arctic tundra to tropical rainforest.
I’m using each country's or territory's national bird as the subject of a 45-panel installation. These bird symbols offer an opportunity to think about migration, political borders, boundaries, and surviving in a changing ecosystem. They allow me, like Benito, to stress connection rather than difference, while also celebrating the beauty of each individual bird.
Migration Series
This series mirrors my profound respect for the natural world, its cycles, and its inhabitants. With a keen awareness of the fragile state of our environment, each painting serves as a tribute to a species. These artworks become devotional objects, reminding us of the delicate balance that sustains life.
