This is my mom's backyard with the mister system on, creating a cool effect on the air quality and the picture. Of course, we had to get a Donald Trump piñata! I love the way the lights, mist, and colored water all play together with the colors!

Like I said, I love having fires outside when it gets cold in the desert in the winter!
This photograph is from taking the ski lift in summer down to the ski chalet station at Mt. Lemmon. The air was so crisp and refreshing.
I love how abstract this window is. It looks like an abstract painting by an artist perhaps similar to Piet Mondrian.
This was the disco, rollerskating section of a fundraiser I helped put on. I love the way the light plays off the mirrored ball in the center of the room.
I am enchanted my light projection and am considering making it a focus of my artwork moving forward. This is at MOCA Tucson, or the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tucson.
I love the sense of movement and light in this photograph even through it is slightly jarring.
I believe this was the first fire in my fireplace before it got out of hand and burned the front the brick we had just painted white. Oh well, I say, patina it is!
This is my backyard which I bricked in to get rid of the dirt. When I left for England all my plants died, even the cactus, but i will figure something out. I love making a house a home. It is one of my favorite things to do!
This is a picture of one of my favorite chairs that I got a crazy deal on. I love how it is very 1970s and 1980s and I love the color. I like the fact that there is something off about them.
This is a lodge that a lot of my family stayed at before our Grand Canyon trip. Going there is always extremely memorable.
This picture is from the front yard of my old rental in Sam Hughes, the colors absolutely work together and remind me of home. Pink dusty clouds.
This is my friend Josh's living room in Eagle Rock in east Los Angeles. He is very creative, driven, and has been a good friend to me since my mid 20s.

I think this is the drying up man-made in northern arizona, although I might be wrong about that.
One of my oldest friends is an architect and took me on-site to show me a trick of his trade. A small, well placed window like this can provide a wonderful view without letting too much heat in.
Here are more of my aunt's paintings from another angle. I love them.
I love old wall "sculptures" from the 60s and 70s. I did not like them as a little kid but have come to appreciate them for their cheekiness.
This images is also from London at my family friend's house. The hostess made us tea and lemon cake and the whole thing was very British.
I think I took this picture in England because it reminded me of the lessons I learned from artists like Olivier Mosset and Daniel  Buren... that color, pattern, and art is everywhere you look. You just have to be open to it.
This is a shot of where I went as an undergraduate at the UofA. I took it because of the color of the night sky and the extremely modern picnic tables.

I have walked down 1st street so many time in my live. I grew up in the neighborhood and will be going back there to live. It is comforting and I especially like the way that the street light is focusing a ray of light down onto the street.
This is a photograph taken from the Jumex Museum towards the Tomayo Museum in CDMX or Mexico City. Both are very recognizable buildings although I prefer the art at the Jumex museum more.
I like this cafe because it used breeze blocks that let air flow in and out. I also liked the circle and the people that were involved clearly had interested taste,
This is another shop I liked in CDMX / Mexico City because it had a lot of pottery and ceramics which I am obsessed with.
A street scene in CDMX / Mexico City showing the time of year when they celebrate their dead with marigold flowers. They are everywhere during this time of the year.
More of my aunt Joanne's amazing aesthetic process!
This was the first apartment I rented in Tucson for 425 dollars a month in Barrio Viejo. I remember this as being a particularly happy time in my life.
I remember loving this "stairway to heaven" that was rigged for the house's owners to get up on their roof using train ties. It is located in Sam Hughes in Tucson.
I stayed in this ultra modern apartment with Anne-Marie when we visited CDMX / Mexico City together. It was a trip I learned a great deal on.
Another "dreamy" bed. I think that I am obsessed with sleeping.
These are two of my dad, Joel Ireland's passports. I keep them around because I love him so much and because it reminds me that time passes and that we are all just humans "passing time".
I believe this was taken at the Jumex Museum and reminds me that I want to work with the psychology, spirituality, and engangement that happens when you are overwhelmed in color.
More pink clouds at my house on 1st and 1st, this is a very Tucson picture.

So many parts of my history are in these photographs, from the Cinzano ashtray to what soon be my "dining room" again. I hope I am able to make a peaceful journey full of growth as I embark on my next steps. I certainly have a lot of tools.
