The connected structures in my Torii Collection (2023-present), chiropractic pain scale imagery, and a personal exasperation over global events in 2025 led to the Skeleton series. Rough figures in sumi or handmade natural ink are refined by black gesso and 18k gold ink for textural contrast. 

Inspired by the artist's travels in Japan and a personal photo series of temple gates. Each work features interconnected graphic shapes and lines in flat black in high contrast with a glowing swath of handmade ink in the background, inviting you to contemplate both the unintentional shapes of the foreground while imagining what lies beyond, just out of sight.

An exploration of Japanese myth in cyanotype and artist-made ink; the word seirei ( ) means a supernatural being that is the origin of all things and forms, liberated from the body, found in plants, animals, persons, and inanimate objects. Created from kirigami works (hand- cut paper masks) and UV-printed onto painterly cyanotype, embellished with artist-made ink for a sense of placemaking.

My continuous line faces and eyes are drawn with eyes closed, to embrace worsening vision due to optic neuritis which has become a favorite practice in my studio work. This practice inspired my digital figurative sketches, favoring simple continuous lines in black.

My favorite thing about working in alcohol ink is the unpredictability, divine symmetry and movement of the medium. In 2020 I began studying natural Japanese textile dyes and pigment making, and have incorporated the practice into my work as a nod to placemaking. While I may live with limited mobility, incorporating elements from the Pacific NW and my travels illustrate presence and impact through medium.

Landscapes created by transferring oil pastel from torn washi, as well as an expansion of my Faces series exploring color and texture.
