My artwork revolves around the Gestalt Theory of Visual Perception, the concept that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It responds to the question posed by art historian Christine Poggi

Does painting function as an aesthetically pleasing object (a “table”) or an extension of reality (a “tableau”)?

I strive to expose materiality of the digital and the physical by abstracting familiar forms, overlaying textures, and combining techniques from a variety of traditional mediums.

My favorite mark-making mediums include charcoal, graphite, watercolor, acrylic, Adobe Photoshop, Procreate, and MS Paint.
