Welcome to my gallery! I hope you enjoy your visit 🎨
I will always use my art to advocate for those whose voices go unheard. Palestinian poet Tamim Al-Barghouti tied resistance to beauty, saying, “Whenever you face injustice or roughness, remember to defend yourself by finding beauty … document, prove, and defend it because all beauty is resistance.”
Here we have a young Palestinian girl garbed in a traditional embroidered thobe, holding her homeland’s flag and a bouquet of poppies - the land’s national flower, while surrounded by Palestine sunbirds - a newer national symbol of the land.
Her face is covered by olives and Jaffa oranges, fruits that represent the rich agricultural history of Palestine. Israeli settlers illegally displaced 70,000 people living in the thriving region of Jaffa during the 1948 Nakba, completely disrupting and seizing the prized citrus export that was heralded across the globe. And in a continuous effort to further destroy Palestinian agricultural livelihood, Israeli settlers have uprooted and set ablaze to more than 800,000 olive trees since the 60s.
These are bold cultural symbols, markers of her heritage, yet they mask her identity. She is anonymous, and could be anyone’s daughter, sister, or friend. This is to symbolize the 6,404 unseen children who have been killed to date (as of Nov 14th) during the present day genocide…
From the River to Sea, Palestine will be Free 🕊️

While printing all the artwork, one of the prints came out with a beautiful glitch effect due to an unknown mechanical error. I felt like it should be celebrated because of the importance of "variants" in Across the Spiderverse. Since it cannot be reproduced, this will be sold as the "Variant 1 of 1 Edition" to the highest bidder.
Bidding will begin at 7PM EST on Sept 14, and extended until 11:59PM EST Sept 15.
*Artwork does not include frame
I watched Across the Spiderverse 4 times because I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Each time I walked out of the film, I found myself feeling like I learned something new about colour and a wealth of inspiration that I had to channel into my own artwork. I had a strong image in my head of Gwen and Miles soaring over a slanted opalescent New York. The piece is a far departure from my usual work and really challenged me to learn a lot of new techniques, but this was an intentional move to push myself to tap into the things that truly inspire me!
*Artwork does not include frame
Due to the time it will take to hand embellish each piece, they will take up to 4 weeks to finalize and ship out.
Please note that free shipping is not eligible on this item. Orders outside of North America might incur import fees and taxes in addition to shipping.
This is a 1 of 1 collector's edition canvas of my painting for the Home is Toronto collaboration with Peace Collective. It is a canvas print of my digital painting embellished with oil paint marks to accentuate the colour and texture of the CN Tower deck! This is the first canvas that has recieved this type of technical, traditional treatment which adds to its rarity.
The winner of the auction will have 24h to checkout, and if they do not then the runner up will be able to purchase at their bid amount. The final bid price is subject to tax and shipping based on the customer's location.
Popcorn bidding is enabled meaning if any bid is placed within the last 5 minutes of the auction, the auction will be extended by 5 extra minutes.
Here is a first look at the piece I designed for my Peace Collective collab. Toronto is the city in which my art was born. So it was a tremendous honour to collaborate on this design with one of the city’s most iconic brands!
I was inspired by an image of the CN Tower piercing through the clouds on a foggy day. I saw the perfect opportunity to translate the soft clouds into a bed of lilacs with Peace Collective’s notorious slogan “Home is Toronto” embedded in the sky. Finally. the yellow orbs represent the steady emergence of bright new talent in the city.
