The Vanity
A fun, quirky and flippant picture. A persian cat sits upon a vanity table, seemingly inspecting its reflection in the mirror. On the wall behind the table is a painted mural of 4 Rococo ladies with different expressions, which the viewer gets to interpret. It's a fun interpretation of the idea that we are living in a current rococo age, with all of its vanity and absurdity.

Anti-Fragile
An acrylic and ink painting of abstract flowers on a background of varying hues of blue. The feeling is shifty, unstable. It moves from wistful dreaminess to dark, brooding determination. The viewer is caught up in many layers of background built upon each other and the ethereal, yet resolute presence of the flowers, disproving the concept of their fragility.
