A selective portfolio of work made during my tenure at Cornell University’s College of Architecture, Art, and Planning.

After a stint at the University of Washington in Seattle, where I intended to pursue medicine, I transferred to Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. There, I studied anthropology, with a focus on urban public art programs, and art, with a concentration in painting. Despite my interest in public art, my few forays in our college town floundered. Following that, my work turned inward. I found my voice through familial narratives, both fictive and grounded in history. And my mother often served as my defacto model and my muse, despite living states away.

While much my work during this time of instruction is best forgotten, certain pieces and series possess qualities and ideas that have stuck with me and my practice.
