Duck, Duck, Goose
This summer marked a significant milestone as my daughter turned 11. Our conversations began to evolve, touching on important subjects like body autonomy, sexuality, puberty, and consent. These topics, which are so central to growing up and navigating the world, also connect deeply with the values I care about, especially in a time of crucial political change.
Through my art, I’ve been reflecting on these conversations, using birds and flowers as symbols of natural development, personal freedom, and community. The color palettes and compositions of each piece in this collection are inspired by my hope for peace, courage, and equity for our future generations.
In a world where political noise can often feel overwhelming and make us feel voiceless, I believe that expressing our values—whether through art or discussion—matters. Our daughters are watching, learning from how we use our voices.
"Duck, Duck, Goose," launching on Election Day, November 5, is my act of manifestation—an extra vote to the universe for a leader with integrity.

Shells & Shadows
It likely wasn’t as romantic as I remember, but I grew up in a 100-ish-year-old house, a half block from the beach; dusty pink siding & red geraniums hung on the porch. At night, we kept the old windows open to let the salt air blow through.
Seashells, whole and broken, could be found in piles on the concrete by the outside shower, emptied from bathing suit pockets or beach chair cup-holders. French fries with warm ketchup in big paper cups, the sand-caked Velcro band on the end of my boogie board strap dragging down the street, and the squawking sounds of the seagulls are sun-burned into my memory forever. I fell in love with the beach over those 10 years and while the moments were as transient as the shadows, the memories will never fade.
My new summer collection, Shells & Shadows is a celebration of both ephemeral & everlasting beauty, inspired by the dreamiest summer days and evenings by the beach.
