Working with gouache on aqua board, I create hazy dream worlds that echo a distinctly southern landscape. The central femme figures wear expressions that are stoic and unbothered, as they are thrust into this familiar yet futuristic absurdity. Vibrant colors veil darker and perplexing themes of the south. On the surface raw sexuality, humor, and resilience can be found in my work. With deeper observation themes of pollution, uncertainty, and the challenges of sexism rise as uncomfortable truths.

I am a southern mutt, growing up between Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and finally attending college at LSU for my undergraduate in anthropology and history. After spending a year in China teaching and studying calligraphy, I have come back to the South to make New Orleans my home.
