Seen But Not Heard
In my recent work, I explore how the homeless live outside of our consciousness, completely devoid of identity and how they are viewed by mainstream society. I explore our view of homeless people by simply creating portraits of the signs they hold to show we rarely look past their cardboard pleas for help.

No More Happy Birthdays
This work is a continuation of the Seen But Not Heard series. I created imagery which asks questions about the cultural rituals we partake in and how something as universal as a birthday celebration is not universally celebrated. I use these paintings to ask the questions: Who throws a birthday party for a homeless person? Who even thinks about them on their birthdays?
