Three Dimensional Work
This installation features paint chips strung up on a woven spiderweb of silver chains. The paint chips are a two-month-long collection of discarded acrylic paint. Here, I celebrate the beauty of paint as a medium, as well as the beauty of the behind-the-scenes of a studio practice.

Kitchen Miniature
This miniature kitchen was created as a critique of the fascination our culture has with abandoned buildings and the mystery associated with them. It was inspired by Frances Glessner Lee’s “The Nutshell Series” in which the artist creates true crime dollhouses for police-in-training to solve crimes. There are details in my piece as well that contribute to the mystery of the kitchen.

Fairy House Series
This series was created out of the nostalgia of creating fairy houses as a child out of natural elements found outside. The idea was that if I created fairy houses in my backyard, fairies would stay in our garden. This series is meant to recreate that childhood whimsy and pay homage to the young fascination with fairies.
