About the artist
I am an artist and arts educator living in Oregon's Wilamette Valley. I conduct exploratory practice and research related to transdisciplinary / anti-disciplinary art-making, with an emphasis on modular sound design, painting, drawing, and new genre development. I am deeply nerdy about vocabulary 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.
