Artist Statement
Since 2010 I have taken a much more driven approach to the creation of art through the use of mixed mediums founded on my educational and professional experience in the field of Landscape Architecture with a focus on urban design. Through photography, painting, printing, assemblage, and illustrations, I have only begun my journey as a full time artist.
My art stems from my passion for the arts in general. Visual art, predecessors and contemporaries in Pop Art, Street Art and Abstract Study have influenced my gallery exhibitions and everyday experimentation. Live Music and psychedelic rock bands of the 60s, 70s and present have continuously sculpted my ideas for rock posters and event merchandise. Blending both visual and musical stimulation allows me to develop my own processes and creative form of expression. I often blend layers of texture, design, and personal expression to achieve a moment of feeling forever captured as a work of art.
