Grounds for Absurdity


Made during my final year at UVA, as I navigate the space between my art and business degrees, these works hover between comedy and sadness. In Grounds for Absurdity, I paint campus life not as it looks, but as it feels—warping real spaces and experiences through instinct, memory, and the burnout of the 21st century. The compositions borrow quietly from painting’s history, but loosen into something more unstable—part observation, part exaggeration, and either way, terrified of the “real” world after graduation.
