My work is influenced by immigration, cultural studies and the transformative effect of being in nature among other things. The effect of the past and my place in social history drives my curiosity. I do art as a way of looking for meaning in a rapidly changing world. I trained as printmaker, but now work with a digital painting application that emulates physical painting media, and another program that uses particle interaction to create wave forms. And yet the digital paint application I use is one specifically able to depict accidental passages of time that would have been visible from physical media — the paint drip, depth from the layering effect of transparent colors, traces left over from partial erasure, cracks from the breakdown of physical materials. These qualities enable me to do work that evokes passages, journeys, and the mysteries of myth, nature and dream.
