Dating back centuries, women have been idealized through art, but through that process they are removed of the very thing that makes them who they are; they are removed of their autonomy, their faults, their humanity.

The little girl pictured in the artwork is me.

I created this as a method of expressing my own thoughts about individualism in a society inherently based upon tradition and meritocracy, and seeing ourselves through this lens.

This was my first still life.

Our desire to protect and hold on can quickly fester into something much more murky; what happens when the subject itself rejects you?

I chose to paint a photo that I took in Oregon, where I admired the beauty of a hilly landscape around me. I realized that the beauty was made up of thousands of imperfections that worked together to create one vast countryside, composed of small deformities collaborating to become a remarkable scenery.

This work is inspired by drama series’ like The X Files, that consist of a main duo who work as partners.

This painting represents the social injustice women lived in during the past.

”Just Maybe” is a depiction of what could be if someone could step out of their comfort zone.

While painting this piece I felt like I wanted to tap a bit into the concept of darkness and it's contrast to light.

I made this painting in one sitting to cover up what was previously on the canvas.

While working on this self-portrait, I attempted to capture the complex look held in my features, a mixture of being aware in the moment yet also lost in thought.

This piece is inspired by traditional Chinese door designs, especially those seen throughout Hong Kong. Red, a color often used on these doors, represents happiness and prosperity.
