I am a multidisciplinary artist; my practice involves conceptual video media, photography, and the analogue medium of paint.
Nothing is more artistically stimulating for me than a blank canvas, whether physical or digital. The impulsion to create, to express a vision, is immense. There is little in the world that is not visually fascinating when viewed from the correct standpoint.
My inspiration is informed by history and focused by current times.
