My studio strives to defy categorization by intertwining creative disciplines. With over 20 years of experience and education in fine art, architecture and design, my projects generally focus on the fusion of the aforementioned disciplines with technology and science. My work consists of various media ranging from hand drawing to high-tech, interactive light installations. My studio output consists of 2 parallel objectives: maintaining a rigorous, personal studio practice and producing meaningful public art/placemaking.

My tools are developed through the investigation of different methodologies, often incorporating a synthesis of traditional techniques with technological advances. My process evolves from an initial idea that develops via research, exploration, the interplay of materials, construction, composition, light and color, and how these elements can be layered to resonate with senses, emotion, and perception. This approach allows me to create multi-faceted work that is simultaneously sensorial, immersive and rooted in concept – blurring the lines between the tactile, psychological, physical and the digital realms.

Generally, my work starts with a concept that in turn reveals the final media in which it is to be produced with. Variety keeps me interested and also keeps me learning. Non-repetition is built into my studio’s ethos. The concepts I explore in my art are reflections of my past experiences, multi-cultural landscapes and intellectual terrains. I am drawn to the complexity of urban spaces, where architecture and art converse in unexpected ways.

My interest in the quiet profundity of nature is a constant source of inspiration. I often delve into environmental mechanics and biomimicry, drawing upon the inherent designs and processes of nature to inform and shape my work. These observations inform many of my conceptual underpinnings, where research spans from the microscopic architecture of cells to the tectonics of geology and the complex systems of cosmology. Using this natural inspiration, I begin layering imagery, exploring composition, phenomenon and harmony. By bringing these contrasts into my work, I seek to evoke a sense of wonder and provoke contemplation on the intrinsic connections between space, memory, and perception.

I strive for my work to be interpreted on a universal level. I enjoy when responses are anything from a child’s curious gaze/interaction, a sophisticated aesthetic appreciation, or a deeper dive into the concept driven, intellectual underpinnings. I am most content when complexity is reduced to reveal the spiritual essence of a creative undertaking and meaning is subtly revealed through contemplation of the work.
