This work leverages complex textures to examine the depth of human emotions. Surface tension remains stoic but the deep is fragile and especially palpable.

This painting, which won a Juror's Award at the Miller Art Museum in Wisconsin, stands out with its vibrant, thick application of paint and highly expressive, abstract depiction of what appears to be a human head. The bold impasto technique, where the paint is applied in thick layers, creates a sense of texture and depth, making the piece feel almost sculptural. The blending of colors—pinks, purples, yellows, blues, and splashes of red—adds a sense of movement and energy, as if the figure is in a state of flux or transition.
