Self-Portrait

Charcoal
24" x 18"

I have struggled to find my voice throughout my life, and I find art to be a safe, comfortable way to do so. I have created art for as long as I can remember, full of passion for the process. I hope others find a similar comfort in my pieces.

Fake Fruit

Charcoal
19" x 24"

This drawing stands out to me as being surprisingly emotive. The title of this piece alerts the observer to the unsatisfactory reality. Now that you know the plum cannot be eaten, do you view the artwork differently?

Lady Liberty's Last Breath

Ceramic, wood, glass, fabric, enamel paint
18" x 18" x 6"

Lady Liberty represents the American ideal that anyone, no matter their economic, religious, or cultural background, can find success, security, and happiness in the U.S. This piece depicts the grief and desperation she would feel in response to the Trump administration's draconian immigration policy — the waters that rise around her.

Oonagh Lunas

Stoneware
45" x 25" x 16"

Oonagh Lunas is my most recent work exploring feminine wisdom and resilience. I am drawn to abstract, organic figures. The flower-figures, whose stems are conjoined at their base, also depict a symbiotic coexistence. These floral bodies remind us to dissolve boundaries between self and other, and bloom wide with combined life forces.

The Art of Sailing

Oil on unstretched canvas
80" x 50"

My pieces depict abstracted bodies in their struggle to emerge and float, craving/resisting submergence in their background world. The flesh is present but unpronounced, recognizable yet not in focus. The familiar elements of the figures are suspended, yet their presence cannot be denied. Lightness and transparency unite the body with the ostensibly less significant environment and the compositional choices invite the viewer to reconsider the body from a new angle. The figures and objects ooze out of space as accidental elements within a landscape, even as landscapes themselves, and invite the viewers to rethink their participatory role in creating boundaries.

Altar for Liberation

Oil on canvas
24" x 20"

In this time of ascendant fascism and cruelty, it feels urgent to articulate clearly what is broken and direct my attention toward imagining alternatives. I'm drawing attention to this through a new series of altar paintings. Each altar focuses on a theme that I consider essential for a more just world.

Self

Ink on paper
24" x 18" each

I've always struggled with mediums that allow for much detailed modification of colors and transitions of value. Whether it be pencil, paints, or charcoal, I find myself enjoying black inks to create tones and texture, and this piece was the first instance where I used white inks for a larger project. Primarily functioning as a practice of utilizing what I am already familiar with, along with the use of toned grey paper and ink I've been mostly unfamiliar with, I created a detailed self-portrait that blends feelings not of this reality, all while recreating a more interesting rendition of a photo of myself.

My relationship with trying new foods has been a struggle, but over the last few years with some help, I've been getting better. My artwork depicts a timeline of new dishes I've tried throughout my life so far.

Blonde

Oil on canvas
28" x 22"

This self-portrait investigates the duality of adherence to structure versus personally gestural expression. My reflection in a mirror serves as an objective scale upon which many layers of oil paint accumulate. The tension between observed reality and free abstraction asks what makes a person recognizable, both to others and ourselves.

Connie at Work

Charcoal on paper
10" x 14"

The work of most artists, visual and performing, resides in their hands. Sometimes delicate and nuanced, other times demanding forceful precision. The bassoonist's hand requires both actions; to delicately flick the appropriate key and to muscularly contort to reach and cover the sound holes to complete each sonorous expression.

Echoes of Heritage: A Journey to Tjimur

Watercolor and crayon on paper
17" x 13"

After my parents passed away, I journeyed to Tjimur - a remote, permit-only mountainous region in Southern Taiwan - to reconnect with my ancestral roots. There, I met an elderly aboriginal woman selling handmade jewelry, inspiring my watercolor and crayon work that captures her gentle dignity and timeless beauty.

Bromeliad at Sunrise

Reduction linocut
12" x 9"

I am not trying to make a statement of any type; I enjoy art for art's sake. I love using flowers as my subject matter because nature is the greatest creator of design and color. I don't think that I can equal nature in creativity, so I only hope that I can represent nature in a novel way.

It all began with the idea of creating different types of mushrooms. After executing my main idea, my work became more personal.

We are all trying to find our path in life, yet life has no path, no set programming or guild. Sometimes we struggle and want to give up along the way; those struggles are part of the process. It's what we do with that struggle that can become something beautiful.

A Hollow Place

Digital, Illustrator

I've had a long-time fascination with stories and how they can capture the imagination. This illustration was inspired by a haunting piece of fiction of a similar name, and my goal was to recreate the atmosphere and sense of dread within that book.

Desire

Archival digital print

"Desire," a postmodern piece inspired by the works of artists Chuck Close, Marilyn Minter, and David Hockney. Though initially conceived as a painting, then subsequently as a photograph, the artwork was reinterpreted through a contemporary lens to recast artistic elements of line, shape, and color.

Eyes

Colored pencils on Canson Mi-Teintes drawing paper
12" x 16"

I am inspired by the natural world, observing plants and animals. I also reflect on their connection to humans. My creative process often begins during casual walks in nature, where I discover themes that explore both the strength and fragility of our irreplaceable environment. Nature reveals not only its beauty but also its vulnerability, reminding me of our responsibility to protect it. As an art student, I strive to express the interaction between nature and humans. For this project, I chose to depict my own eye observing the small creatures in my backyard - hummingbird, squirrel, lizard, butterfly, and ant.

Self-Portrait

Charcoal and Conté crayon
18" x 24"

This self-portrait is one of the first finished pieces I've done in charcoal. At first it was a struggle to capture my own likeness, but I feel that I was ultimately able to create something that feels authentically me. Realizing I wanted to demonstrate more of my personality and inner self, I was inspired by Junji Ito's "Uzumaki" to add spiral motifs to the background; although in this manga spirals evoke feelings of unease and madness, I see them as playful and even calming. Sanguine conté allowed me to add warmth to the piece and incorporate my favorite color, orange.

Memento Mori

Charcoal
18" x 14"

Remember death. So intertwined within our lives and buried deep inside our minds. This artwork seeks to combine this aspect of death, depicting with bones, while also showing the fruit of life, an apple, wrapped up within the folds of time and the shroud of mystery that surrounds our existence.

Always Eve

Terracotta clay
6" x 2.5" x 3"

This piece is inspired by "Eve (After the Fall)" by Rodin. At first, it seemed like she was melting into a mass she couldn't escape. I made my reflection of Eve seem more desperate, fighting to get unstuck only for her efforts to act against her.

Magic 8 Ball Bolo Tie

Hammered copper, dyed rope, cut billiard ball
12 in. x 4 in. x 1 in.

This bolo tie represents sustainability, upcycling, maximalism, and, most importantly, a milestone. This is the first box I've ever made as a metalsmith and I will continue to create more in the future. Sustainability is important to me as an artist. The billiard ball and rope are both thrifted, altered, and combined to create a new entity.

On the Run

Inkjet print on paper

When I photograph, I notice what is unique around me in the moment when otherwise things feel ordinary and mundane. I approach my photographic process almost as if I am completing a painting - noticing all the elements and waiting for the final piece to fall into place. The running man was that last piece.

Reverence

Stoneware
16" x 11" x 9"

As a Christian-raised artist, I often felt the need to water down my opinions, make myself desirable to God, and submit to my male church leaders' guidance. This piece explores the resentment and anger that hides behind a carefully constructed facade made to please others and protect oneself.

Spine Cups

Ceramic
12"h x 5"w x 5"d

My work is inspired by the themes of comfort and discomfort. I chose to combine those two themes in the medium of ceramics. The comfort aspect is in the mug itself. It represents having a warm mug of tea after a long day of work. The discomfort portion is represented in the design of the spine, and the mugs being precariously stacked together.

24"h x 18" w x 10"

This powerful piece represents the uterus as both a symbol of femininity and oppression, while offering light and hope. Intricate, flowing lines form the womb, painted in warm, radiant tones of pink, gold, and red, evoking vitality and creation. Beams of soft blue, purple, white, and yellow light break through, representing resilience and the enduring hope for change. At the center, a faint flower and light hints at new possibilities, leaving viewers with a sense of both reflection and optimism.

Stemming from my lifelong appreciation and enjoyment of trees. An absolute necessity for life, serving as the lungs of the earth, a sanctuary for countless species and natural regulators of biology. Through my art I hope to (re)ignite a curiosity and admiration for the symbiosis we share with them.

Mind's Eye

Graphite and charcoal on paper

Dead Inside

Charcoal, Conté crayon, plywood, clothes
44" x 26" x 3"

The theme of this piece is that we put on a professional, responsible front to hide the pain we internalize. The creation of my art makes me physically hurt and ache, but I must continue creating or else the emotions will stay hidden inside like a tumor.

I have opened my eyes to a world of color through both darkroom and digital photography. Color reveals so much more detail. I dyed my photo and also used a color lens to make these discoveries.
