“A natural display"

Mixed Media

This abstract piece uses fragmented figures and natural forms to explore the connection between the human body and the environment. Through contrast, line, and repetition, the work blurs the boundary between nature and figure.

“Chromatic Echo"

My work translates the emotions I feel while listening to music into color and form. Each piece captures a specific mood—turning sound into something visible, layered, and deeply personal.

Graphite portraiture

Julia Shimshock

Hansee Hall

This piece was inspired by the Dave Matthews Band song “Don’t Drink the Water,” depicting the next era of imperialism: the reign of Artificial Intelligence. It is meant to capture the supposed warmth of technology poisoning the purity and sanctity of our minds.
