"Adulting Daydreams"
I wanted to empathize with the hard working Millennials and future Generation Zers. The “babies” represent the dreamer in all of us. They go from playing with toy blocks to navigating blocks with nails representing student loans, medical bills, car repairs, and child care, etc etc etc.

At a Cellular Level
I've become interested in communicating how all inhabitants on the planet share similarities at the cellular level. We all need air, sun, food, and water. Calling attention to the cellular commonality of all beings may soften our first response when we interact with other humans or species and help us to avoid scanning for the differences and the hierarchies we place mentally on everything
outside of ourselves.

The Long Journey Triptych responds to any new situation humans undertake to achieve a goal. The scene is meant to evoke the feeling of the heat from the sun on a desolate almost desert looking landscape where you can imagine going over hills and vast expanses in pursuit of “arriving”.
The Uphill Battles series responds to events we face every day in living an ordinary life. The viewer can decide if they are the sun rising to challenge the landscape or the landscape responding to a powerful force; but ultimately the realization is that all things that we encounter become a part of who we are.
