About this artwork
Part of the Surrender series, this pastel painting explores the intensity of human emotion through expressive mark-making and layered color. Expressionistic gestures are balanced with impressionistic softness, allowing vulnerability and inner tension to surface without excess. Strong contrasts give the work a charged presence, while the figure holds a quiet, unresolved depth. The piece invites reflection on the complexity of inner experience, offering…
a visceral yet contemplative presence within a space.

Her ongoing project, The Ecstasy of Surrender, merges multiple media in experiential, collaborative ways. As a muralist, she engages social justice themes, including public works for organizations such as the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center. Her work has been exhibited at the de Young Museum.
