Based in the California Central Valley, I attempt to explore the rich complexity of the ordinary and the everyday through representational imagery. Through the use of large scale ball-point pen drawings, I attempt to inspire attention to what is present in the common experience, in such a manner as to allow a space for contemplation and celebration of the ordinary.

This body of work shows a small glimpse into just a few of the places that have meant home throughout my life. Some of these places are shared public spaces, filled with others who are also looking for a place of belonging. While other spaces are known only to myself and those closest to me. My home has never been a singular location or space. Rather, I have made my home in these places filled with belonging, comfort, and peace.
