    Ecstatic Utterances is a series of paintings exploring altered states of being through depictions of queer intimacy, religious folklore, and dreams. Vivid, large-scale paintings act as portals transporting the viewer to transcendent worlds where anything is possible and everything is beautiful. Populated with birds, horses, queer bodies, and saintly impressions— these works begin to create their own theology. This series of paintings includes four, large-scale pieces depicting intimate, queer happenings and dreamy landscapes through a mix of graphic shapes and loose, gestural mark-making. The work utilizes complex color pallets, figure interaction, and thoughtfully activated compositions to create an engaging and dynamic body of work.

    An immersive exhibition that captured God’s presence in the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. A gallery space filled with work in a variety of mediums that engaged people with the content through all of their senses. Visitors immersed themselves in the nature of the Pacific Northwest as they walked into the exhibition, leaving their preconceived notions of fine art and the gallery space behind. A hiking backpack sat upon a beach blanket with a pile cassettes, books, and a bible just outside the door. A quiet recording of ocean waves crashing on the beach on cassette played from a tape recorder by a display of custom view-masters. The audio recording drew people in to the nook of the gallery space where 3 view-masters sat upon a cedar shelf with 6 unique custom reels compiled from collections of film photos the artist took around the Pacific Northwest. Each reel contained 7 photos and was sorted into 2 reels of the beach, 2 reels of the forests, 1 reel of the mountains and 1 reel of the Puget Sound. Just around the coroner were a set of 3 colorful stained fused glass pieces that caught the sunlight as it streamed in through the window like stained glass in a church. On the largest wall were 3 large oil paintings. Inspired by the impressionists, the artist emphasized each individual brushstroke that comprised the larger landscape. As viewers left, there were 3 hand printed and illustrated prayer cards inspired by different parts of the Pacific Northwest including Mount Hood, Multnomah Falls and Indian Beach.
