The Wonder Project began in Jacksonville, FL while I served as the 2021 Museum of Science & History's Artist in Residence. The work synthesizes my research and ideas about the relationship between neuroscience, visual perception and creativity. My design process places special emphasis on the “doodle” and “squiggle” as important exploratory elements for idea generation, memory encoding and recall.

In my work, I place a special emphasis on play and curiosity.

The Diaspora Project is a series of monoprints created during a Guest Artist Residency at the print atelier of  Trident Editions/Florida State College of Jacksonville (FSCJ) in Florida.

This work is about the history of migration on this planet. It is about the walls we build to separate and maintain borders. It attempts to challenge the idea that safety means living in discrete isolated pockets.
