Elemental Series
The Elemental Series is a body of abstract paintings rooted in the fundamental shapes of triangle, circle, and square. Each work deliberately avoids representation and narrative, instead foregrounding the aesthetics of form, structure, and the tactile qualities of paint.
Fluxe 01
My debut zine FLUXE emerged from my journey back to Canada to care for my mother who lives with mixed dementia. Through these pages, I blend my photography, gardening, writing, and collage work—creative pursuits that brought me moments of joy and self-expression during my care-giving journey.
Elysium Series
A new painting has emerged into being after several years of disillusion or lack of focus. Struggling at the canvas, the painting sat unattended to for over a year. I had to let go of self-imposed expectations. Then without much thought, I came to the canvas one evening with the intention of simply cleaning and reorganizing my space. One thing led to another and I started to paint. I introduce to you Elysium, No. 1, the mythical land for the afterlife of noble, heroic and the blessed.

Art & Alzheimer’s
On New Year’s Day 2024, I proposed creating collages with my mom, who has Alzheimer’s. Despite her condition, she enthusiastically embraced the idea. As Alzheimer’s gradually limits her ability to perform normal cognitive tasks, this activity serves as a hopeful means of creating new neural connections. While she cuts out items from supermarket flyers, I handle the pasting. This collaboration not only brings her joy but also allows us to connect in a meaningful way. Together, we’ve created over 30 collages and still counting.
