This is "Today was a Fairytale," a pivotal moment within The Uninvited Guest series. This large-scale piece was created with Prismacolor colored pencils on heavyweight drawing paper.
This composition is heavily and lovingly inspired by the whimsy of Mary Blair and the enchanting landscapes of classic Disney animations I adored as a child. It represents a beautifully constructed fantasy state—a perfect, curated world of fountains and castles. However, in this scene, the "fairytale" is interrupted. After all the running and hiding depicted in other pieces, I am shown caught, fully enveloped within the pink beam of the UFO nemesis.
This piece serves as a striking visual of surrender to the inevitable disruption of the past; it shows that even inside our most perfect constructed defenses and happy places, the "uninvited guest" can still find us, taking us out of the dream and back into the vacuum others cannot see.
This piece, titled "Don't Take the Boy," is a core part of The Uninvited Guest series. This intimate and deeply personal work was meticulously created with Prismacolor colored pencils on heavyweight drawing paper.
Here, I am shown hiding within the perceived safety of my bedroom, a retreat from the encroaching reality outside my window. The focus is on the heartbreaking, helpless feeling of watching something you love—in this case, my dog, my "boy"—being stolen or beamed up into the light of the craft.
This piece illustrates the invisible disruptions of the past; it shows that even in a place of sanctuary, the "uninvited guest" threatens the things that ground you and keep you happy, reminding you that sometimes, you can't even protect what you love most.
This is "Space Girl," a work from my The Uninvited Guest series. This piece was meticulously created with Prismacolor colored pencils on heavyweight drawing paper.
This is me living out my whimsical, retro-futuristic "space girl" fantasy, but of course, there’s a deeper story. Even while floating freely among the stars, she is being beamed up and disturbed by her UFO nemesis.
This piece illustrates that feeling of being "abducted" from your happy place by an unseen weight from the past—the eye that is always watching, even in the middle of a dream.
