  Artist Statement
"Every image can suggest a way of seeing and relating to the world. In many ways, the experience and power of art is its ability to cling to the imagination and memory of a viewer despite a lack of specific reference. Images can also be screens where our emotions and premonitions take form. Our human desire to create cosmologies fumbles around in this same darkness. I see my practice of computer-mediated art making as an important conjunction of our perceptual abilities and digital representation technologies. I also see these images as constituting their own reality. These works have a living presence and interplay among the purely visual elements of color, form, motion, and illusionary space creating a powerful and engaging experience of vision."
