My work draws inspiration from the world around me. I use line, color and form to construct environments that are invented yet familiar.
I make paintings, prints and cut paper structures. Alongside my traditional studio practices, I use digital technologies to expand my art making toolbox. I prefer to work with a wide range of methods and materials because it encourages explorations that lead to new ways to express an idea.
