Post-Op
this piece tells the story of my own evolution as a trans person. i am nonbinary, and i created this work in part as a reaction to the frequent misgendering that i experience. owls are symbols of wisdom, and they are taking away the organs that no longer serve me, that not part of who i am. The owls hold them carefully, as these did have a purpose at one time, in that they grew and fed my precious son.

Sue & Sammy
my mother-in-law sue was many things - an increrdible gardener, an adopter of semi-feral cats like sammy, a baker of delicious cookies - yet she was also an alcoholic, and her addiction eventually led to her death in 2020. this was a heart-breaking and complicated loss, and i want to remember sue in all her dimensions - as a grandma-to-be, a plant magician, and an animal lover - not just as her disease.
