I am an artist and educator living just outside of Corvallis, OR. I believe that a multidisciplinary approach not only acknowledges the access to materials and information that is packaged into the internet age, but that the voices and modes of composition inherent in painting, sound, digital and internet art, sculpture, poetry, video, performance, and conceptualism can address concepts in different ways. Specifically, I want the art I make to diversely advocate for art as a means of internal and community dialog. Themes often include anxiety, depression, dissociation, and sleeplessness. On a more material front, I'm interested in exploring alternative platforms for documentation and the experimental forms of media that come with them.
