A series exploring the charged, in-between spaces where the familiar slips into the uncanny. These drawings capture fleeting moments: night roads, shifting light, blurred motion -- where landscape becomes memory and memory devolves. They reflect my ongoing interest in rural Texas and the tension between solitude, mystery, and movement.

A group of expressive studies focused on the character, presence, and symbolic weight of animals in the American South and Southwest. Rendered with close attention to musculature and gesture, these works approach animals as both living beings and cultural archetypes.

Selections from my ongoing sketchbook practice: quick studies, experiments, compositional tests, and visual notes. This section reflects how I think on paper before developing larger works or conceptual series, as well as a commitment to keeping my foundational skills sharp.

This series introduces improbable and impossible elements into otherwise familiar environments. Charcoal’s range of softness and severity creates images that feel intimate yet disorienting, operating within a dreamlike overlap between observation, invention, and constructed space.

A documentary-style 35mm photo project focused on observational practices. These photographs depict understated corners of Waco -- porches, alleys, clotheslines, and other spatial details that are frequently overlooked. The series serves as visual field notes on the everyday environments and material conditions of a Central Texas community.

A curated set of earlier prints and drawings from my foundational years as an artist. These works mark important stages in my technical training -- especially in traditional printmaking disciplines -- and show the seeds of themes I continue to explore today: narrative, memory, and the surreal within the ordinary.

Inspired by long night drives across Texas, these works focus on velocity, isolation, and the way headlights carve temporary meaning into vast dark. The series sits at the edge of realism and abstraction, reflecting how travel distorts perception and transforms open road into psychological landscape.

Drawings and mixed-media studies inspired by American quilting traditions, particularly the visual language of starburst and patchwork patterns. These works reflect my research into women’s storytelling, domestic labor, and the role of material culture in preserving memory.
