Released some restless energy onto paper with this portrait sketch.

Gouache on Paper
This is how your friend from high school looks at you–knowing you’re different now, knowing she’s different now.

Color Film
I play hide and seek with the scars from a clumsy childhood that my Korean family always told me to hide.

These photographs were taken in Aegina, Greece. During ancient times Aegina was a rival of Athens, the great sea power of the era.
Digital Photographs
It’s a shame if you did not get around time to see Hoover Tower in different lights.
This 5-page word-art series explores the way emotion and memory lives in the body through experimentation with colour.
Mixed media (watercolor, charcoal pencils, pencil) on sketch paper
This photo was taken in the McMurty Art Building. I used black paint in photoshop to highlight the lights and computer.

An abstract piece with a collage element, created from splicing a collaborative image. It invokes a sense of depth and the condensation of space.

I made this piece as an exploration of how cows are perceived in different cultures, and society’s relationship to animals as a whole.
