It is liberating and life-affirming to have a voice in the centuries-old conversation of image making.

With limitless possibilities in a culture of exponential growth and discovery, I remain open to experiment and embrace all tools and delivery systems for creating.

As an artist, my mission is to use my work to shed light on the complex and often overwhelming relationship between humans, nature and machines. I’m inspired by both ancient and modern sources, drawing from the rich symbolism of the past and the rapidly evolving technology of the present. By combining these disparate elements, I hope to create a new visual language that can help us better understand the world we live in.
