Biography
For many of my paintings, I utilize a combination of traditional brushwork with a hands-on screen-printing process in order to reveal how the human experience is the main driver of socially defined beauty. The process I use creates slight deviations in each piece in the same way that nature creates human individuality. This provides me with a result that is both mechanical and organic.
Highly influenced by advertising, fashion, and street art, I find myself dissecting the image of beauty into its individual parts so that each part by itself could be seen as both abstract and beautiful. I then bring those individual parts together and arrange them to form an image full of lines and rhythms that the eye cannot help but follow. It is this junction between the eye, the brain, and the social construct of beauty that I explore in many of my paintings.
