Peace Set In Stone
NEWEST RELEASE!
Spring 2025
A different exploration of the same setting. Peace Set in Stone was born from the trickling light at the end of Gases In the Garden.

Gases In the Garden
NEWEST RELEASE!
Spring 2025
TRIGGER WARNING: includes topics surrounding assault, sexual violence, and suicide.

Stripes Smeared In Red
Fall 2022

6-year-old boy finds mother dead in the kitchen. No sign of forced entry. Suspected Homicide with No Leads.
