Autobiographical Book
An experimental book about myself, specifically the unseen. In this book, I talk about how mental illnesses and physical disabilities have affected my life. In addition to sad and silly commentary, I offer affirmations to myself and the readers.

Pandemic Proverb Linocut
Over the course of the pandemic, I have often felt isolated or alone. This short quote by Carl Sandburg was carved as it reminded me that we all have a friend in the moon, even if we are “alone.”

Self Portrait Linocut
Tasked with carving a self-portrait, I set up a mirror in front of my carving station. In addition, I took a portrait photograph that was then printed out for me to take notes on.
