I’m enamored of the ethereal, the coincidental, and the quirky. My work explores imagery through layers, merging together textures, materials, color, illustration, and symbols with whimsy and happenstance. I love how seemingly disparate elements can come together and create something entirely new, telling a different story that changes with each viewer. A strong concept sometimes drives what I’m doing. But generally, it’s just me, poking around, looking for images and ideas that play well together.
My career as an artist has been a sporadic, yet steady progression from the disciplined and structured halls of an education in architecture and art history toward a willingness and overt desire to allow for the unexpected and the unintended in my work. My early digital work was overly reliant on my architectural education and training. Each piece was a rigorous abstraction, an academic exercise. Each line and color chosen had intent, and there was very little room for the unplanned.
Over time, I grew frustrated, feeling constrained by all the rules I had established for myself. I needed to find an artistic process that would be more flexible in allowing for the coincidental, the unplanned moments to occur. That process, for me, would be composite art photography, where each piece—composed of multiple layered images—is itself an accident of sorts, a series of coincidences and happenings, within which can be found innumerable smaller moments. The joy comes now, not in reaching a methodical and preconceived conclusion, but in discovering the multitude of possibilities of an artistic method that allows for the exploration of accident and happenstance.

There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your work in print, and creating, developing, and preparing artwork for both commercial and desktop publishing applications has become a passion of mine over the course of my career.
Though I love print, I appreciate the flexibility of creating for digital environments. Without the constraint of reproducing what you’ve created in the real world, there really are no limits outside of one’s own imagination.
All artwork shown here on the site is available for licensing or individual purchase. Sold pieces are provided printed and framed if requested (size to be determined with buyer), as well as in high-resolution digital format.
