Ritual  

Wholly Heathen is my daily painting practice. My work responds to the surge of unchecked authoritarian power and the rise of populism.

I sign my work as Wholly Heathen, a pseudonym that preserves anonymity. The ever‑watchful eye is my emblem of vigilance—bearing witness to autonomy, both personal and communal, against authoritarian, theological, and technological surveillance.

Supreme Cult. 2025 acrylic on canvas

"Supreme Cult" embodies a mythic indictment of the far-right capture of the U.S. Supreme Court. It critiques the erosion of constitutional norms through strategic manipulation—beginning with Mitch McConnell’s blockade of Merrick Garland’s nomination, the entrenchment of corporate influence via Citizens United, and culminating in the reversal of long-standing precedents like Roe v. Wade. The skeletal justices symbolize a decayed institution, hollowed by MAGA extremism and billionaire-backed agendas. The painting exposes the Court not as a neutral arbiter, but as a cultic apparatus enforcing authoritarian will under the guise of legality.

Exodus Frog. 2025 acrylic on canvas 

“Exodus Frog” captures a surreal moment of resistance, where inflatable costumed citizens subvert a narrative of fear. Intended as a spectacle of ICE-led intimidation across West Coast cities, the militarized incursion was met not with panic, but with vibrant, peaceful protest. Through playful costumes and public dancing, these citizens redefined the scene—transforming a show of force into a defiant celebration of joy, absurdity, and communal resilience.
