STATEMENT OF ARTIST PRACTICE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a visual artist with a new media background, I translate memories and moments into visual stories. Utilizing media archaeology as a medium and practice. Creating installations, digital drawings and animations by combining mediums and disciplines into transmedia works. While Interrogating traditional art forms through digital bricolage using personal, commercial and archival imagery. The narrative of my work is supported by teachings I have received on ecology, spirituality, and technology. Using this knowledge to express my relationship to memory and land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My professional background and education in design and art provides the skills necessary to support my narratives with documentary mediums. This includes production, graphics, and digital software. I have a corporate design background with industry experience in entertainment, research and instructional design. I utilize this knowledge of visual storytelling in my art practice – with the skills to document, record, and manipulate imagery into new unique artworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
