Her work draws on “The Unicorn Tapestries” at The Met Cloisters and European myths. Paintings show the unicorn as a spiritual being and a figure of sovereignty and sacrifice. \nHer 2025 show “The Scapegoat” also explored ritual and the sacred. Works like The Annunciation of the Unicorn and The Chosen One universally reimagine biblical imagery.
