Artist Biography

Digital composites are old photographs (from famous photographers, forgotten photographers, or from the amateur photographers in my family) as well as more recent photographs taken by me merged with my own drawings, digital art, and abstract paintings. The pieces are cut, layered, altered, and reworked both manually and with art software to unify the various images into one. Each digital composite exists as a one of a kind piece as only one is printed, signed, and framed. 

My interest in topics such as identity, perception, and bias are reflected in the artwork as are the inevitable conflicts between the private and public personas represented by layers of mostly hidden, fully visible, and partially obscured elements within the digital composites. Maintaining a level of ambiguity in the work is important to me because I want viewers to be able to project their experiences and perceptions onto the piece while leaving enough unresolved to suggest other interpretations may exist.
