The Madonna, Reviled series uses traditional feminine imagery to explore the inner-lives of modern women. Halos represent the the things women hold close. They are safe in these personal womblike worlds that they foster. These women are not content with outside expectations: caught in moments when they feel most unseen by the world, they see their individual power more clearly.

Wilted is a series about what we give other people, and what we expect in return. Each piece in this series is inspired by a woman in my life. Each flower folds and fades in its own beautiful way; they harden, but they are more delicate.
