A 2020 cover of Art Journal, portraying an idyllic, tranquil landscape, plays the foil to a distressed protagonist. Of such relationships, the author states, "This forged, fused, and forced union — the kind of union that yields similar traits and sometimes it yields contradictions. I’m not really interested in the things that have a fixed or defined position or definition. I am more interested in things that are constantly shifting, things that defy categorization, it’s not really a question of what I can use to position or frame my paintings, but more about the places in between, the grey areas if you will, the negative spaces."Exhibitions
