About the artist
I am an artist and arts educator living in Oregon's Wilamette Valley. I conduct an exploratory practice and research related to multidisciplinary / anti-disciplinary art-making, with an emphasis on modular sound design, painting, drawing, and new media. In search of new genres, I see disciplinary art as a vehicle for a more fundamental interest in cross-discipline communication, collaboration, and alternative documentation.
Much of my work addresses personal narratives of anxiety, trauma, and sleeplessness as an individual contribution towards normalization, as well as an acknowledgement of the runaway access to materials and information that has come to privileged demographics and geographies in the Internet Age. I believe that contemporary mental health issues are in superposition with our technological ecology, both aspects able to aggravate and offset the other.
I am currently working as a full time instructor of art at Oregon State University, primarily teaching intermediate and upper division painting and drawing.
