Metamorphosis, 2019
stitched, soldered and painted textiles 28" X 20"
This piece was created of an acquaintance of mine who was just emerging from a traumatic past and beginning to tell her story. I used the introverted brown that the blue morpho butterfly uses for camouflage as well as the blue color it uses when its wings are open to create this portrait.

Mothership, 2022
Stitched, sublimation printed, marbled and painted sheer curtain with found textiles, ribbon, and lace. 94" X 61"
This piece merges the beauty and pain of motherhood. The woman's body and pregnancy experience, in this work, is compared to alien ships.

On Change and Permanence, 2020
stitched, soldered and painted textiles 57 1/2" X 38"
I created this piece when living at home for the first few months of the pandemic. The woman has three heads in this work displaying the burden that having multiple tasks and jobs in the home creates for mothers.

The Seed, 2022
stitched and painted textiles, a baby onesie, old running tank top, a sheer curtain. 53" X 47"
As one of my sweetest paintings, this piece reflects motherhood as a woman getting her seed child to be in the right environment to grow. In the image, she is pressing a seed into the child, as light glows in from the window.

Reclining Woman, 2022
stitched, dyed, and painted textiles, a mans shoe, hankerchief, rope, children’s clothes, lace. 80" X 57"
This image shows my frustration at keeping the floor of my home clean. I use found objects that I took from my own children and husband to create the draped floor of this piece.

Working Mother, 2022
high school student artwork printed on onesies, stitched and painted textiles, a scholastics art gold medal, parts of a lansinoh breast pump 64" X 130"
This work is of a woman literally burning a candle at two ends. When I entered back into the workforce, I had a baby at home. This piece tries to encapsulate the multifaceted job of being a working mother.

El Sueño de la Razón Produce Monstruos, 2020
stitched, sublimination printed and painted textiles 35" X 55"
I was inspired by Dorothy and her red shoes, by people who tie aliens to religion, by the artist Goya and his nightmares.

Hope, 2021

This is a tapestry of an interior scene of a woman contemplating the pressure and hope of her home.

Balance, 2022
stitched, sublimation printed and painted textiles 63" X 63"
In this piece I was thinking of the cyclical tasks that I have in my home and placed a woman in the position of walking on a balance beam in the center being confronted by three animals hidden in the fabric. I recycled and collaged older textiles that I have collected over the years to piece together this portrait.
