Sunset Social Club is a private, members-only cannabis lounge tucked into the hills of West Hollywood. Known for its laid-back luxury, elevated experiences, and vibrant creative community, it’s a space where culture, connection, and high-end relaxation meet.


My work is currently on view here as part of their commitment to supporting local artists and creating immersive environments. This rotating collection reflects themes of identity, presence, and altered states—resonating with the spirit of the space itself.


On view through: End of October

It’s a mashup of nostalgia and modern mythology, where farmhouse stoicism meets sci-fi rebellion.

SMILE, You're On Camera

36" x 36"

Mixed media on recycled paint skin canvas


This piece plays with the tension between authenticity and performance — the masks we wear and how we present ourselves. Two smiling faces, one upright and one inverted, create a mirrored contradiction: sincerity versus surveillance.

Made on a canvas of sun-dried, recycled paint, the cracks and textures reveal what often lies
