In Fall 2024, over 20 of my works—spanning digital, animation, collage illustration, and fine art — were featured in Penn State Lehigh Valley’s exhibition Liberty and Justice for All. Shown here are selected pieces from one of my earliest fine art series, completed in the mid-2000s. Created on canvas using acrylic and paper collage, these works became the foundation for my illustrative collage aesthetic. These pieces offer a snapshot of my collage inspiration, a majority engaging with social and news-driven themes.
