I created this illustration based on the description of the demagogic eagle in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, an ancient Chinese mythological geography book. The book says it looks like an eagle but has horns and makes baby cries. I adapted it from the words and drew what I thought it would look like. I also added other mythical creatures from the book, such as fish with wings and fish with human faces.

Through acrylics and dry brush techniques on stretched canvas, I aim to preserve and renew the wonder of the prehistoric era. There is so little that we know about how life flourished on this planet millions of years ago, and I believe there is still so much beauty that can still be shown or brought to life with our imaginations and a paint brush. Through my piece I want to show the timeline of life on earth, from its very humble beginnings as tiny aquatic creatures, to dinosaurs that could tower over buildings, and finally to the age of great mammals and the creation of mankind. My mission is to prove that Prehistoric media is still relevant today and can be consumed and appreciated by all ages. I've always loved the grandeur of these animals that have been long extinct, and I knew that as a child and know now as an adult, that there was always something amazing to create from those old bones. I want to show people what I see when I look at those fossils, and give prehistory the respect I believe it deserves in the art world.

In the heart of California lies a small town, home to an old lady known only as Ms. Orange. The sole caretaker of an orange orchard, her real name is forgotten by all. Surrounded by the orchard she grew up in, Ms. Orange lived a quiet life, her days marked by the rhythmic work of tending her trees, from the hopeful sprouts of her youth to the deep folds of her old age.
Years ago, her family journeyed across the sea to fulfill their American dream in this secluded town, planting roots as enduring as the trees themselves. Time passed, her parents aged, and the orchard became her world.
Ms. Orange's life, rich in fruits but barren in companionship, was one of profound solitude. Then, one afternoon, beneath the whispering leaves, she fell into a deep, transformative dream. In it, she became a magical girl, reclaiming the imagination and courage she'd lost, battling the loneliness that plagued her, and seeking the freedom that lay at the end of her dream.

Based on my girlfriend and I, at our picnic after the Pride Parade. June 25, 2023. The parade was loud so we got over stimulated. We decided to go to the nearby Washington Square park nearby and lay in the grass. We didn't bring a picnic blanket, thinking we didn't need one that day, and so we laid out the lesbian pride flag to rest on. It was our peaceful heaven, a rare safe freedom, from the chaos of the world.

I enjoy creating artworks focusing on fantastical human and animal characters, and exploring the boundaries between them. I draw inspiration from the whimsical, otherworldly, and unknown present in sources of mythology across the world and history. I create illustrated works which allow a passageway into the lives of the fantasy characters that would otherwise have lived inside my head undisturbed. Here is one such private moment, illustrating a moment between two of my characters, a human and her fallen guardian angel, as they spend what might be their last night on earth together. The work illustrates how someone who has the potential to fly and soar might choose to be weighted to the earth by a commitment to that which they love and adore, but can also never follow them skyward.

The painting demonstrates a full match box surrounded by burnt matches with smoke drifting through. The artwork features a face in one of the matches and subtle hints of facial features in the burnt matches. The painting is representative of the feeling of being burned out, strained and exhausted.

This piece exemplifies the nature of my work. I thoroughly enjoy telling chilling stories in a fun and colorful way. This story shows two twin carnival workers running a shooting duck game. It becomes unfortunate for them as they become the main targets. I wanted this piece just to be inviting at first glance then makes one do a double take once they realize what's going on.
