Meet Jay, a vibrant marionette inspired by my son—a smart, funny, and endlessly energetic little boy. Born deaf in both ears and diagnosed with ADHD, Jay’s constant movement and zest for life were the perfect inspiration for this playful creation. Just like my real-life Jay, this marionette is never still—its fluid movements, from winking to walking, truly bring it to life.
Creating this piece for the MyLuckyEars series was a joyful challenge, and watching Jay interact with his miniature counterpart was even more rewarding. This marionette captures the essence of his unstoppable energy and unique personality.
This captivating mixed media wall sculpture tells a heartfelt story of resilience, connection, and advocacy. The piece features a little girl with Microtia, gazing out a window, wearing a bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA). Sitting delicately atop her hearing device is a whimsical Microtia Elf butterfly, symbolizing hope and transformation.
Originally created to honor Microtia Awareness Day on November 9th, this artwork sheds light on conductive hearing loss often associated with Microtia. Inspired by countless individuals who thrive with BAHA devices, the piece is a tribute to their strength and courage.
The sculpture gained recognition from Melissa Tumblin, founder of the Ear Community Organization, whose mission has supported thousands of individuals with Microtia and Atresia since 2010. When Oticon Medical acquired the piece for their New Jersey office, it was redesigned to reflect Ally, Melissa’s daughter and the foundation’s poster child. The doll’s ear and hearing aid were updated to resemble Ally’s own Ponto Plus, with the Microtia Elf butterfly symbolizing the unique beauty of her journey.
This piece is a testament to the transformative power of advocacy, art, and community, celebrating the beauty and strength of those with hearing differences. Though the sculpture has been sold, its message continues to inspire and connect people worldwide.
This sculpture embodies the journey of stepping out of the comfort zone and embracing personal empowerment. For years, I hid under the guise of my hearing loss, using it as a reason to remain within the safety of my own cochlear shell. Overcoming the fear of being seen and transforming my disability into a source of strength rather than limitation was a profound lesson, earned through perseverance and milestones.
This piece symbolizes the triumph of taking charge of one’s life, refusing to let any disability—physical, mental, or emotional—stand in the way of pursuing dreams and ambitions. It celebrates the courage it takes to shed self-doubt and embrace the world with newfound confidence.
“Out of the Cochlear Shell” was the culmination of my “Weekly Letting Go” project, a creative challenge where I completed one piece of art each week for 12 weeks. Free of self-judgment, I explored various mediums and themes, allowing the process to guide me. This experience broke the cycle of procrastination and self-sabotage, giving me the freedom to create despite fear or uncertainty.
This sculpture not only represents my personal growth but also invites others to find the strength to step out of their own shells and live boldly.

The sunflower, symbolizing strength, positivity, and unwavering growth, serves as a tribute to Clara’s incredible spirit and her family’s enduring love.
Clara’s story began in Brazil, where she was born prematurely at just 24 weeks, weighing only 465 grams (just over 1 pound).

Now 3 years old, she is a bright and joyful child who loves books, music, and spreading sunshine wherever she goes.
This artwork honors Clara’s journey and the hope she brings to countless families of premature babies. It is a powerful reminder of the light within all of us and the miracles that perseverance and love can create.
