Paintings
Each painting is years in the making, most spanning 10-20 years in the making. Some I am ready to share and sell in their current state, others I have not quite figured out the vision for. Thus, some have prints for sale. Others, I do not feel are ready. Each is more or less numbered in chronological order according to its inception. I include works here that I deem, myself or rather my style, if that is how one might refer to it. Not all have prints available, and some are skipped due to circumstances of them not currently being available.
All are oil on canvas. I display them in order, to describe the evolution of my relationship with each work as each undoubtedly affected my existence.

A Line
One singular line experience with a dark and light side, inter-tangled within itself. Expressed in a 3d dimension. This is the second painting I started when I was at the University.

Chinese Checkers
Movement on a wooden board playing with marbles board and my Grandmother inspired Chinese Checkers. My Grandmother and I played this game each time I visited her in southern Missouri. As far as I know, I was one of the only people who loved playing this game with her. It is largely strategic where one must constantly survey the strategies of one's opponent and be prepared to change course. The movement of one piece to they next with long varying smooth moves, is what my mind obsessed over. For me it is a testament to the unique relationship she and I shared.
Initiated: 2009 or 2010 in Berlin, Germany

Self Portrait
The name of this piece inevitably makes it seem a reflection of me. While I think I lie within it, I also know that other women are in it as well. When I thought of it as I was making it, I often thought of a woman who I regularly passed by in a subway station in Berlin. She was homeless, which in Berlin says something. To become homeless in a country with a social structure designed to prevent homelessness, took effort, I often though to myself. I felt for her circumstance and often wondered what her daily woes might be.
I wondered more often than not, how close I was to becoming her. Were we so different?
Initiated: 2010 or 2011 in Berlin, Germany
Finalized: 2013 or 2014 in Berlin, Germay

Ribbon
By far my favorite work, embraces femininity in its abstract approach to a ribbon. The white is the profile of the ribbon, bending and constantly taking up the negative space allotted. The gradient from yellow to blue is the gradient seen on a thick ribbon as it bends and flows.
Initiated: 2013 in Berlin, Germany
