If being a human, means our identity is composed of a layering of stories, those we retell about ourselves and those we overtime ascribe importance and value to, my work deals with those stories that often go untold or forgotten; the stories of the physical body.

I hope to reflect variable aspects of what it means to own a human body.  A body filled with internal organs and processes, with strengths, weaknesses, limitations, and the potential for rampant ugliness as well as profound beauty.  How much of whom we are is expressed in the physical aspects of our personage, and how society, medicine, and time can affect that.

My interest is the transience of flesh that even when shaped, altered, or destroyed does not deny its permanence of being the vessel of human life, and those most basic similarities we all have as human beings.  I have been focusing on those elements we all have in common and hoping to find a visual poetry there in.  My desire is to express a hopeful, yet abstracted view of life.

The physical qualities and characteristics of drawing, printmaking, and papermaking have motivated me to focus much of my work in these media.  Working in processes that reflect the movement and activity of my body and visceral energies speaks directly to the content of my art.  However, I have recently begun to combine traditional hand based media with digital processes and outputs.  This combination is of increasing appeal to me as it reflects our current societal context and the way computers have become so integrated into our lives changing our daily activities, languages, and social interactions.
