After breaking these slabs of wood for my taekwondo test, I didn’t want to waste them by throwing it away. Living in the Midwest has the beauty of the four seasons. We experience various temperatures year round which is so fun to me. Therefore, I expressed that fondness for the seasons on these pieces of wood!

Food waste effects our daily lives by squandering resources and contributing to climate change and food insecurity. As a result, this painting is a creative representation of the sorrow food waste brings to the earth.

Whale We Make a Change?
Digital Art
Whales are crucial to maintaining marine health and sequester carbon from the atmosphere throughout their lives. Almost half of all whale species are endangered or vulnerable from habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and fisheries bycatch. Even these large majestic creatures of the ocean are at risk if we don’t make a change.

Indigo Moonlight
Digital Art (Photoshop)
Walking through a local park in late June I saw an indigo bunting land in a dogwood tree in line of a bright pink halfmoon. The white dogwood flowers surrounded the bunting before the moon making the bunting seem like a blue jewel, a more intense concentration of the sky around it. I came home and sketched the scene instantly knowing I had to paint it.

Created March of 2020. This piece expresses, through learning the history of entomology and the evolution of insects, humanity can create inspired solutions to modern problems. Insects, along with the rest of the environment, must be protected so humanity can continue to create innovative solutions.

Growth
Porcelain
8″ x 5″ x 10″
When I was young, I would often fantasize about the ways that nature might one day reclaim structures and cities abandoned by humanity. This piece is an exploration of how I imagine this process would occur, as a colony of growth slowly infiltrates the seams between the wall and the floor.
