Her paintings are held in the collections of Perez Art Museum Miami, Tampa Museum of Art, United States Embassy Beijing, and JP Morgan Chase, as well as private collections throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. 

STATEMENT

These small, synthetic landscapes are inspired by 1970s wallpapers, postwar painting, and Chinese scrolls. Space is spliced in shallow layers, almost woven like the lattice pattern often used as a binding element for pours of paint and ink. Combining disparate methods, I situate pattern beyond the surface repetition that so often reinforces hegemony, sexism, and white supremacy, breaking it open and going inside.
