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 this collage of nature in an abundant and lively manner.
