Daddy's Little Girl (2022)
Exhibited at the Gasparilla Festival of the Arts (Juried Competition)
34"h x 32"w x 1.5"d
Mixed media on canvas
Daddy's Little Girl captures a candid snapshot of paternal love and domestic joy, observed along the Tampa Riverwalk. Rendered in mixed media on canvas, the painting depicts a father carrying his young daughter on his shoulders as she peers toward a sunlit window counter.
The composition layer-cakes traditional and contemporary motifs, combining Chinese calligraphic symbols of blessing and longevity with expressive, youth-inspired line drawings and bold typography spelling "PROUD DAD." Through its rich texture and intimate subject matter, the work celebrates black fatherhood, childhood innocence, and the quiet, profound moments of warmth that define everyday urban life.

Invisible Realm of Information (Triptych), 2022
Exhibited at the Gasparilla Festival of the Arts (Juried Competition)
40"h x 96"w x 1"d
Oil on unstretched canvas with contemporary hanging scroll hardware
Invisible Realms of Information is a contemporary triptych that visualizes the unseen digital, cellular, and data networks permeating our physical world. Executed in oil on unstretched canvas and mounted using a contemporary adaptation of East Asian hanging scroll traditions, the three-panel work explores the intersection of human presence, physical labor, and digital abstraction.
The outer panels depict individuals absorbed in handheld devices, while the central panel depicts construction laborers working within physical infrastructure. Overlaying all three scenes are vibrant, swirling bands of color, geometric shapes, and signal motifs that render the invisible currents of information constantly surrounding us. Through this hybrid format, the triptych examines how modern technology redefines spatial perception, social connection, and the unseen forces shaping contemporary urban environments.

Neighbor's Cat 3 Ways (Triptych) 2022
Exhibited at the Gasparilla Festival of the Arts (Juried Competition)
30"h x 24"w x 2"d each work
Oil on Canvas
Neighbor's Cat 3 Ways is a three-panel serial study exploring memory, observation, and the reduction of form. Originating from daily observation, the triptych presents a single cat seated in an outdoor setting framed by fencing and native foliage, reinterpreted across three distinct compositional variations.
Executed in oil on canvas, the series maintains a consistent structural geometry while dynamically shifting color palettes, tonal values, and surface textures. By juxtaposing stark graphic contrasts with veiled, atmospheric layers of violet, indigo, and soft ochre, the work investigates how repetition and chromatic variation alter psychological perception, transforming an everyday domestic encounter into a meditation on form and visual rhythm.

The Awakened (2023)
Exhibition History: Inaugural HCC Gallery Pop-up Exhibition
77" H × 42" W × 2" D (195.58H x 106.68W x 5.08D cm)
Pastel on paper with contemporary hardware mounting and gold paint
The Awakened is a monumental study in Buddhist iconography and sacred proportion, reinterpreting an ancient Tibetan hanging scroll (thangka) at an expanded scale. Utilizing a traditional grid enlargement method, the image was scaled onto paper using rich pastel mediums and mounted with contemporary hardware store materials.
The composition centers on the Buddha in the earth-touching gesture (bhumisparsha mudra), framed by intricate cloud structures, celestial bodies, and a lotus throne flanked by sacred snow lions and the wheel of law (dharmachakra). The interaction between soft pastel application and heavy paper gives the surface a rich, velvety luminosity. By pairing ancient sacred iconography with accessible, utilitarian materials, the piece investigates themes of devotion, scale, and the democratized adaptation of classical forms.

Echoes of the Stage/Ancestral Frames (2023)
Exhibition History: Inaugural HCC Gallery Pop-up Exhibition
Dimensions: Variable 3D Wall Installation
Foraged palm fibers, botanical materials, mixed media, beads, and open wooden/gilded frames (Triptych)
Echoes of the Stage (Ancestral Frames) is a three-part sculptural installation exploring cultural memory, performance traditions, and the spatial boundaries of framing. Drawing inspiration from childhood memories of watching recorded Peking Opera alongside the artist’s father and global Indigenous masking practices, the triptych synthesizes performance heritage with local ecology.
Constructed from organic materials foraged within the boundaries of the artist’s Tampa home—primarily harvested palm varieties—the masks feature dramatic botanical headdresses, draped beads, and expressive textile accents. By mounting the masks to project forward and spill beyond conventional gilded and wooden frames, the work challenges traditional two-dimensional boundaries, creating a dynamic three-dimensional dialogue between object, frame, shadow, and architectural space.

(195.58H x 106.68W x 5.08D cm)
Pastel and ink on paper with contemporary hardware mounting and gold paint
Transmission of Wisdom is a monumental reinterpretation of a 16th-century Tibetan thangka, enlarged using a traditional grid method and rendered in pastel and ink on heavy paper. Mounted as a contemporary hanging scroll using accessible hardware store materials, the work depicts a sacred moment of lineage transmission between a seated spiritual master and a devout disciple.
The composition features a gnarled pine tree executed in ink, flanked by blooming flora, two peacocks, and dramatic emerald rock formations. By integrating expressive ink line work with rich, velvety pastel application and utilitarian mounting hardware, the piece investigates how historical sacred narratives and classical drafting techniques translate into modern material languages.

Three Spaces (Below, Above and Beyond, 2018)
Exhibition History: Global Nurses Convention, San Francisco
24"H x 30"W x 1"D
Oil on Canvas
Three Spaces is an expressive, climate-focused painting that visualizes the impact of rising sea levels on urban environments and human habitation. Presented at the Global Nurses Convention in San Francisco, the work explores themes of environmental health, ecological crisis, and survival.
Rendered in oil on canvas, the composition stratifies the visual field into three distinct realms: a swirling, atmospheric sky; a flooded urban cityscape where a lone survivor navigates distant waters; and a vibrant subterranean marine ecosystem reclaiming submerged city infrastructure. Through bold, expressive brushwork and a stark, high-contrast palette, the piece confronts the realities of global climate change while considering how natural life adapts and reclaims human spaces.

120 Years of Nurse Advocacy
Collection of National Nurses United
30"H x 40"W x 1.5" (76.2 x 101.6 x 3.81 cm)
Oil on Canvas
This artwork is an amalgamation highlighting the long and proud history of nurses' advocacy, from a tribute portrait of Florence Nightinggale (the founder of professional nursing) to the present day leadership. Ignoring conventional linear perspective, the overall pictorial image of the painting is fractured. As such, time and space are merged onto the pictorial plane underscoring the seamless continuum of nurses' vow to advocate for the health and safety of their patients
The painting reaches back into our history to at least the Crimean War where a nurse is depicted by the bedside of a wounded soldier helping and caring for a speedy recovery. This symbolizes nurses' compassion. Additionally, the iconic red scrubs of NNU nurses are represented throughout the artwork, seen affectionately caring for the young as well as earnestly lobbying elected officials in Congress to vote in favor of healthcare related issues. More importantly, a serious tone is felt from the depiction of pairs of white shoes laid in front of the U.S. Capitol honoring the lives of registered nurses who heroically died from Covid-19 while taking care of their patients during the pandemic. The artwork also commemorates NNU's Registered Nurse Response Network (RNRN) through which nurses dedicate their time outside of work to stand up against injustice.

Private Residence, Long Island (Commission)
48"h x 36"w (121.92 x 91.44 cm)
Oil on Canvas
Private Residence, Long Island is a site-specific commissioned painting that explores domestic leisure, architectural space, and light reflection. Inspired by the pop-art pool series of David Hockney, the work translates iconic mid-century pool motifs into a realistic representational study of a North Atlantic estate.
Executed in oil on canvas, the composition uses a high-angle, linear perspective anchored by a central diving board to guide the eye across shimmering water patterns toward a shingle-style residence framed by dense foliage. Featuring figures in states of submerged movement and poolside repose accompanied by pets, the piece investigates how private architectural sanctuaries serve as personal landscapes of rest, light, and domestic intimacy.
