Exploring Frida Kahlo Through My Painting
Painting Frida Kahlo was more than just an artistic challenge; it became a deeply personal journey to explore identity, culture, and raw emotion. Her gaze carries the weight of experience, making the process reflective and meaningful. Frida Kahlo's art resonates because she wasn't afraid to show it all, and my painting strives to capture that same honesty, balancing strength and vulnerability in every brushstroke. Art isn't always about perfection; it's about truth, and this Frida Kahlo portrait is my way of embracing the mess and beauty in both art and life.
Monkey-ing Around with Self-Portraits: A Creative Take
Creating a self-portrait is not just about achieving an accurate likeness; it's about capturing a deeper essence that a photograph cannot convey.

This experience of painting myself allowed me to take a profound look at who I am, both inside and out.
Processing September 11th Through Art: The Story of ‘Falling Man
The abstract painting "Falling Man" was created in response to the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Inspired by the shock and helplessness felt that day, the artist worked through the night to express their emotions on canvas. Measuring 4x8 feet and executed in acrylic, the painting captures the chaos and confusion of the attacks. "Falling Man" was later exhibited as part of "Abstract Los Angeles: Four Generations," showcasing the raw emotional power of abstract art in response to tragedy.
