Garden State
In this series of paintings, I isolate the architecture and signage of suburban stores, malls, and highways of my native New Jersey to show the idealism in which they were originally conceived.
Color Me Beautiful
I create this series of text-based paintings by carefully stenciling the familiar yet ridiculous names of common lipstick shades against a matte, plush background of the color they represent. Using bold color and evocative typography, I draw attention to the absurdity and insinuation in each shade of lipstick.
