My background in painting helped me to realize the potential that open experimentation can have in finding the most effective means of communicating an idea or feeling.

An ongoing investigation of the urban and natural landscape through the medium of paint as well as my home environment has heightened my awareness and appreciation of the continually changing effects that color, light and atmosphere (or lack of it) can have on a visual image.

I have expanded this exploration by utilizing the camera with still photography and video as tools. The power that camera has (and that painting lacks) is the immediate recognition on the viewers part, that the image originates from the actual world, from reality. This is intuitive connection is extremely important to my work, in that it gives much more impact to visuals that have more of an unusual or surreal aesthetic.
A lifelong interest in cinema has led me to video where I can express my ideas without the constrains of storytelling.

My work is predominantly from a personal, first -person point of view. I am interested in using art to express my interest in the mystery and magic that can be found in the everyday. As well as the duality of things, people and places. A sense of reality as well as a dream-like state can be found in a single scenario. Images and objects are neither entirely direct nor entirely abstract. They tend to occupy the space in between. They hint at their source, but don’t entirely betray it either.

I enjoy creating visual and spatial situations that create a sense of discovery for the viewer. My method is to make them visual aesthetics compelling enough that the audience is intrigued to explore them further.
