"Desires"

Letterpress × Paint Marker

My solo project for class at Community Print Olympia.

Pursue your passions. Eschew their expectations. Damn imposed moralities.

“Blooming Orange”

Valentine's Card '23

Colored Pencil

An expression of genderqueer love for my partner. An attempt to capture a growing feeling that at times seems to obstructed to articulate. A relearning of myself all over again.

"Fir Fixation"

I've alwavs loved the silhouettes of trees revealed in the falling of leaves. Our sunset walks become inevitable with the approach of longest night.

“A Portrait of Flowers”

My poster submission for YUC’22 by RoomFifty.

This piece was created from a reflection on transformation and isolation. A trillium starts life as a white bloom but with age becomes a vivid hue of pink, purple, or red.

Completed my first commission for a friend over fall break. They needed a title card for their videos that contained their handle and a handful of interests. I really enjoyed working within their requested constraints for the animated loop and overall look.

Joined Paper Press Punch for their Zine of The Month Club and made my first risograph print. I really enjoyed working with a two-color single sheet project. The way riso inks overprint is very satisfying.

Seattle Ferry 2020

I love watching the seagulls ride the updrafts from the boat like surfers on a wave. Made on “Looom”, the new flipbook animation app by iorama.studio.
