Enervation, 2021
Acrylic on canvas
18” x 24”

This work highlights mental and physical exhaustion while trying to continue to complete hobbies that originally gave you joy. In this case, the subject dresses herself up very cutely and puts on makeup but doesn’t feel the passion she once did before.

A painting of a person hunched over, eyes covering their back. They are posed sitting with one hand up against a wall, as if cowering or in pain. The colors of this painting are very brown and dull, adding to the creepy aura.

Parasite, 2021
Acrylic on canvas
30” x 40”

Having the constant thought of feeling all eyes on you can be overwhelming.
