Theme: Advocacy (gender gap in chess)

A tribute to my passion for chess and dedication to closing the gender gap in the sport. I used pink and blue lighting to hint at gender, worked with depth, and explored the interplay of motion with stillness.

Live Music

"Live Music" depicts how I imagine music would look like if it was alive. I often think about music coming alive when I play piano.

Masks

"Masks" depicts a figure whose face is fractured by geometric colors. The coloring represents the individual's various influences, identities, masks. You may wonder about the authentic identity beneath the individual's masks. Who really is this person?

Inspired by Pablo Picasso.

Acrylic and watercolor paint.

Theme: Advocacy (nature conservation & appreciation)

Presenting art within art, I explore the intersection of painting and photography with this piece. I invite the viewer to picture themselves within the sights, sounds, and smells of Maine.

Memories of Maine

An attempt at capturing the struggle our forests endure. The colors and texture convey the chaos of fire, pollution, deforestation, and drought. I aim to reflect the energy of nature's fight for survival with this piece.
