Lot (Indianapolis), 2012 "For Lot (Indianapolis), I covered the windows of the women‟s restrooms on the hotel‟s reception level with vinyl silhouettes of local weeds found in downtown Indianapolis parks and vacant lots similar to the empty lot upon which this hotel was built. I have long been interested in the overlooked beauty of weeds, attracted by…

X, 2012 "I created X as a fantastic super-blueprint of my experience of Indianapolis.

10,000 Feet, 2012 "In this landscape painting, I depict central Indiana from a vantage point of about 10,000 feet above the ground. I have always found this kind of midwestern landscape viewed from the air startling and amazing—especially in the summer, when the varieties of saturated greens and browns organize into a relentless grid.
