Light In The Desert, is my new series, I aim to honor the beauty of the desert, exploring the bond between color and light that weaves earth and sky into a living bouquet. In this floral assembly, the clouds reminiscent of petals are drifting across the air with their edges washed in sunlight. The light becomes a language of belonging, a reflection of spirit, and the place where I feel at home.

Anomalies is the culmination of a two-month artist residency at Ogden Contemporary Arts in late 2025 where I created a solo exhibition featuring collage-based images exploring the animals and delicate ecosystem of Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. The human/animal figures span large paintings, animation, cyanotypes, and three-dimensional printed sculptures. In science, anomalies highlight errors, rare events, or entirely new phenomena. My characters are anomalies in themselves: fluid when it comes to species, time, and gender, they exist in a dream-like realm where anything is possible.

Hybrid creatures have long populated mythologies, archetypal stories, and sacred art, where they reflect the permeability between human and animal and embody powers, instincts, and spiritual attributes that transcend the rational. In this time of environmental crisis and technological acceleration, Anomalies explores the interconnectivity among species to re-imagine our place within the web of life. These hybrid bodies are emblems of empathy, survival, and transformation, inviting audiences to examine what it means to belong, adapt, and transform in this time of profound planetary flux.
