Book: Student-Led Peer-Review
An acrylic painting with comic-style imagery including solid, flat colors and black outlines. The background is beige with text faded under the paint. The visually obscured text is a series of commonly used phrases that use words like blind, see, and sight as an insult or as a metaphor for insults like obliviousness and ignorance. Against that background is an image modeled after the first panel of a 1970s Mr. Magoo comic. Red block letters at the top read: "Splat!" Below, and to the right, is a snowball splattering with action lines and puffy clouds depicting the path it took from the left. The Magoo character hit by the snowball is not present, but traces of the body and movement are present. Action lines surround a derby hat and white cane, and additional c-shaped thin black action lines outline the negative space in the middle of the painting where the body is not present, leaving the mind-eye to fill in the space, and possibly picture themself there. 
A wall installation titled: Passage. It is a cluster of paintings on reclaimed wood and old house painting tools.
A large-scale painting on a reclaimed wood fence gate. The background is a light yellow. On the left is a cartoon white cloud with hard-edge bars of color, red, green, and blue, streaming down from it to the bottom of the canvas. There are messy splatters of the three colors that appear as back spatter from off-frame. On the right is the front of the hull of Noah's Ark rendered in the style of a children's coloring book with text from the bible faded in the background of the form. On top of the front of the boat hull is a small gray and white bird that is facing the spewing cloud.
