Abstract

  • Colorful quilt artwork featuring a geometric pattern of concentric circles and rectangles in shades of red, orange, yellow, and darker blues and grays, with a textured, stitched surface.
    Auras
  • An abstract, dynamic composition of zigzagging, angular patterns, shown in bold shades of teal, orange, pink, and red.
    Color
  • An abstract mixed-media art piece featuring a beige fabric background adorned with a grid of circular elements. Each circle incorporates a variety of textures, colors, and patterns, including musical notations, vibrant hues, and floral motifs, interconnected with thin lines to create a sense of unity and rhythm.
    Connectivity
  • In black and white, a nude female statue with no head or arms is grasped by multiple hands, with more reaching toward her body from all directions. In the background, a second female statue covers herself with her arms, and two female figures embrace. The scene is framed by a black background.
    Covered
  • Pointillist mandala in black and white, framed within a large, black, sculpted oval frame.
    Dot Mandala
  • The outline of a violin, showing drawings of human anatomy and organs from head to torso.
    Equilibrium
  • A colorful, abstract piece with layers of paint in blue, pink, and orange in freeform shapes. There is an impression of wet, sliding paint outside the rules of gravity as the dripping contours flow up and down simultaneously.
    Experiment 2021
  • A horizontal row, composed of sections of different sizes. Partial drawings of eyes are in each section.
    Eyedentity
  • A forest landscape shown in neon colors. The trees are bright yellow, in front of layers of purple mountains.
    Facing Fall
  • An individual peers into another space with a similar individual staring back. Abstract geometric shapes in black and white create the abstract surroundings against a bright yellow background. The artist's first name is crossed out in the lower left corner.
    Find Yourself
  • A woven artwork with teals, blues, fuschias, greys, and pinks in asymmetric patterns.
    Fourth Wall (2024)
  • Abstract dark points converging around a single attraction in a nearly egg shaped pattern. Wave forms appear to be surrounding the attraction point.
    Gravity Study
  • An abstract land or sea scape shown in shades of purple, yellow, and red. The top half of the piece is muted to evoke the sky; the bottom half is brighter and has drips of paint.
    Interference Blue
  • A vertical abstract painting in shades of red, purple, green, and blue in overlapping, cloud-like shapes.
    JuneJuly
  • A landscape view overlooking large, green mountains and a winding river in the distance. The background is a floral printed green fabric.
    Ladies View
  • Wires pass in front of a grey brick wall with two rectangular details. The wires are reflected in a window in the wall, which is lined in yellow.
    Lines
  • An intricate abstract drawing filled with a complex array of red geometric patterns and swirling designs. A diagonal line divides the piece from bottom-left to top-right.
    Love
  • Symmetric imagery of microscopic fluorescence. Set against a black background, it features intricate patterns in neon blue, yellow, and pink, resembling a kaleidoscopic or Rorschach-like pattern.
    Microscopy Photography
  • A yellow circle with two wings, creating a bird-like figure, centered around swirling blue spirals and clusters of white circles that resemble bubbles.
    Not a normal Sun during a significant moment of inspiration
  • 3D sculpture set featuring, from left to right, a sculpture that appears like blue and white clouds over a black surface, a blue hand holding a sphere and cup, and a black sculpture with a white cloud and red piece sticking out of it.
    Shrine of Broke Promises
  • Abstract glitch art of a teepee, showing a wave-like pattern in orange, pink, blue, and red.
    Teepee
  • A triptych piece. Left: blue-green image - a decomposing woman with a swirling purple background reflected on itself multiple times. Center: multi-color blocked image - a crying women superimposed on itself and reflected down the center. Right: a purple woman with pink hair breathing swirling smoke
    The Bizarre, The Unnatural
  • An abstract painting with a vibrant mix of colors and textures, primarily in pink, orange, and yellow. Eyes are sketched in black throughout the piece.
    The Chatter
  • An abstract painting composed of swirling shapes and colors. A white strip runs vertically through the center of the piece. The left side features complex layers of red, green, and brown. The right side has softer hues of blue, green, and beige, in more fluid patterns.
    Threshold
  • Painting of two people in an embrace against a teal background. Their faces are obscured by splatters of white and blue paint.
    Tu y yo
  • View of the branching segment of a tree created with drippy broad brushstrokes of ink in tones from light gray to black.
    Tulip Tree 12 Lyman Estate
  • The painting follows a circular motion feeding into all three planes simultaneously. The left quadrant was designed to be the brightest to catch the viewers’ eye because this is where I wanted the story to begin. Hun Hunahpu is wearing his traditional ‘ball game’ attire. Large green vines and human maize husks are coming out of him because he is in charge of populating the world. This is because one of the ancient codex texts called the Popol Vuh describes the ancient myth of how ‘gods formed the first humans through dough made out of white and yellow corn’, after clay and wood failed. He is also holding an orange gleaming and blossoming plant of cempasuchil (marigold) because it could not grow human corn seedlings for Frida (alluding to her 3 miscarriages). The plant is giving birth to three calaveritas (skulls). In the second plane, I replanted a cactus with my bare hands as an offering to Frida because at that time, that is all I had to give; a prickled, half broken heart.
    Un regalito del cielo (A little gift from heaven)
  • Hard-edged black outline renderings of semi-abstract bird sculptures.
    Untitled
  • Bold, sweeping strokes of yellow over a vibrant red background. The composition includes intertwined curves and arches. Some subtle beige highlights blend into the background.
    Untitled
  • A bundle of thin noodles in shadow, flowing down on a long vertical canvas.
    Untitled from Sunlight Prosper Noodle
  • An abstract painting with vibrant swirls of green, yellow, and blue, atop more muted shades of gray and white.
    Veil PhBBzy
  • A stack of glossy blank envelopes attached to a textured light beige background.
    Waiting for Number One
  • At night, a colossal eye emerges above the vast expanse of the galaxy. The eye appears luminous, with intricate patterns resembling irises and radiating light. The galaxy beneath is spanning the cosmos with stars sparkling like tiny diamonds.
