Artist’s Statement

My work, like memory, is not a static entity but a wavering fluidity through the lens of that which is digital. I tend to gravitate to the surreal or simplistic. Working with digital tools to create visual cues of color and treatments, I am able to replicate or fragmentally adjust to what I find pleasing at the time. Hence, the computer screen becomes a canvas projecting an evolving and pixelated rendering.
