Artist
Statement
Art is a place of exploration, investigation, and discovery. I don’t limit myself to specific media and I’m most intrigued by art that combines the unexpected. My work is concerned with the intersections of technology, memory, and media. The remapping of my personal memories as paintings is what currently intrigues me most, but that changes.
