These works explore the psychology of motherhood as institution in a patriarchal society. I comb through my feelings of love, joy, fear, doubt, and inadequacy to create self portraits of the emotional. My daughter hands are drawn, cut or mono printed to illustrate the weight of the mother-child relationship.

Psychology of Motherhood

Collection of Watercolors

These works explore the body and the tender memories and emotions stored with in it.


My body
is a lineage keeper
A confluence 
of blood

Maps across
my face
Constellations across
My back

I stand on the 
shoulders
of ancestors

And from my
womb
my descendants 
will be birthed
to stand on mine

Their feet
rooted
in my
stars and scars



Body Works

Drawn by hand, this 8×11 inch coloring book features over 50 artists and their work!

Your favorite artists, such as Vincent Van Gogh and Frida Kahlo, are found within these pages but there are many you probably haven't heard of that I'm sure you will fall in love with! Artists who created in many mediums and styles are featured, including: renaissance, street art, land art, performance art, folk/outsider art, surrealism, pop art and more! I wouldn't want to disappoint the Guerilla Girls, so this coloring book is split almost equally (the scale tipping slightly twards the women!) between male and female artists and features LGBT+ artists and artists of color.

Listed under the name and dates of each artist is the style and medium(s) they work(ed) with as well as an inspiring quote. This educational book is for all ages, young kids through adults!

Famous (and not so Famous) Artists Coloring Book

A series of paste-up drawings installed in my neighborhood depicting imagery drawn from dreams, symbolism, ancient neolithic goddess cultures, ritual, resistance and the desire to build a better world.

For change to happen you must bring resistance into the streets. My street art project momentarily disrupts the viewer's normal landscape where they are met with images of herbs, animal familiars, and symbols of personal and collective power. These are images of hope for a healthier future that are woven with the powerful symbols found in goddess-centered myth and culture. These drawings are dreams and spells cast for a new world.
