My work explores the disparity between humanity’s
concrete relationship with the natural world and the place that
nature holds in our imagination. It is directly informed by
my distinct experiences of having grown up in the remote mountains
of Northern California as a child, and, as an adult, living
in a large city.
In my most current work, I am interested in exploring how modern technologies such as computers and cell phones are changing our relationship to each other and how we view and interact with the material world. My paintings take as their inspiration the way these forms of technology act as a means of mediating and cataloging our experiences, as well as the larger world around us.
