Finding Womban Series -
The mixed media series, titled Finding Womban, is the visual depiction of women who are on a journey of
liberation by healing and rejoicing in their own femininity. The striking and raw faces of women on a quest
for soul identity are interwoven with rich subliminal backgrounds of abstracted wombs. The women in the
paintings wear explorative expressions, each one seeking to reclaim a power beyond their gender and sexual nature. As the viewer searches for the abstracted wombs within the paintings, the viewer experiences a similar quest to the portrayed woman who, in turn, is searching for her own feminine essence.

Lalibella Series -
This is a pastel series based on my travels to the ancient land of Lalibella Ethiopia, a mystical and religious home to millions of Coptic Orthodox Christians. The drawings depict the spiritual pilgrimage made during Christmas to Lalibella. It is a time of fasting, prayers, ritual, and worship.
