Artist Statement

I am a 2D visual artist working primarily in oil paint. I am interested in portraying subjects from nature in a disjointed, collage-like manner. My subjects are ripped from many different contexts, which is striking against the visually harmonious composition. This mirrors the way we digest content on the internet: media from drastically different sources are consumed one after another, eventually creating a blurred and disjointed feeling. This is especially relevant in the way we often consume nature, through a screen, distracted by another screen, or in close proximity to violently different content as we scroll. Although the future is uncertain, especially in the context of climate change, I often choose to portray nature in an abundant and lively manner contrasting with icons from pop culture and my childhood.
