Consolation
Pictured Is me in a graduation gown that I never got to wear, crying as I realize all of the things I am missing out on because of covid [sic] and how I am no longer excited about anything which is why everything around me is smeared and clouded.

Installations (Art)
This work is a sculptural installation created in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. A trip to the grocery store will never be the same. Walking down aisle after aisle of empty shelves is something we have never before experienced. Panic has caused people to buy up supplies in bulk and hoard them, leaving other community members without. If only you could enter a store without wondering, will they have what I need? The food, supplies, toilet paper my family is out of? If only the shelves could stay stocked. What would you but to get you through this crisis? What our country needs, however, is something you can’t find on the store shelves.

Beaches
Beach volleyball
Volleyball was growing by leaps and bounds. This area was covered with beach volleyball players all day every day. No matter if it was rainy, cold or windy, nothing could stop the beach games. Along came the pandemic.
