Mountain Print (2017)

The Mountain Print involves layering and blending photographs of the Rocky Mountains to evoke the sense of a continuously moving landscape. Dusky pastel colors are added for a soft alpenglow effect.

Landscape Print (2017)

The Landscape Print captures a topographic view of the Rocky Mountains. The colors of the photographs are intensified and abstracted to the point at which only shadowed outlines of the mountains remain.

Hybrid Print (2018)

Inspired by the concept of cross-pollination, the Hybrid Print presents a fantastical vision of hybrid flowers. To create this pattern, images of different flowers are digitally deconstructed and reassembled into a new species.

Kinetic Print (2019)

An interpretation of Alexander Calder's mobiles, the Kinetic Print is an ink painting of dancing figures that captures the lightness and playfulness of the artist's ethos.

Fossil Print (2021)

Colored in chalk, yellow-gold and silvery blue, the Fossil Print is a deconstructed pattern of the rock-like skeleton left behind by coral polyps.

Coral Print (2021)

At the maritime trade gallery in Singapore, a collection of 9th century Tang artifacts had been recovered from a shipwreck. Encrusted with corals, the artifacts expressed new textures that inspired this luminous web-like pattern.

Glide Print (2022)

On the fourth day of the year, a Cooper's Hawk landed on my balcony. To mark this rare sighting, a symbol of hope and regeneration, I created a sketch of the hawk, colored in fluorescent green and electric blue.

Magnolia Print (2023)

Inspired by the saucer magnolia, a prominent spring flower in Washington D.C., I embroidered a simplified pattern of the magnolia on fabric. The embroidery is then scanned and digitized in tints of dusky rose and blue that add a soft, delicate glow.

Epiphyllum Oxypetalum Print (2023)

A rendering of a flower known as epiphyllum oxypetalum, or 'Queen of the Night'. Rare and elusive, this flower blooms nocturnally once a year, and wilts by the morning. This print was a design collaboration with Singapore actresses Tan Kheng Hua and Lim Shi An.

Living Light Print (2026)

After reading an article on biophotons, I set out to create a print that could reflect a sense of light emission. Drawing shape and color references from a type of jellyfish called Moon Jelly, the Living Light Print is a simple, figurative sketch that gives off a festive glow.
