 ersatility and experimentation have formed my work over the years. I use paint, mixed media and computer technology to create works on a variety of surfaces.
Fascinated by texture, my work often assumes an organic quality. I am inspired by the general human condition, including issues related to gender, race, cross-cultural connections, spirituality, ecology, and geopolitical power struggles.
Despite the seeming gravity of many of these subjects, I render my work in ways that invite interest through beauty and humor as opposed to shock techniques, often employing interactive methods. |
