Artist Statement

Across media, my practice examines how imagined narratives shape our perception of place. Informed by traditions such as the gothic western aesthetic, banalography, and the vernacular, my work often begins with a fictional subject whose presence is deliberately withheld. This absence becomes a mirror—an invitation for viewers to inhabit the space between invention and memory.

Bio

I’ve been creating for as long as I can remember—driven by an insatiable curiosity and a love of learning. My academic path reflects that spirit, spanning professional bachelor’s and master’s degrees, a PhD, and multiple graduate certificates across creative disciplines.

My doctoral dissertation, Rewriting Public Memory: Artistic Interventions and the Politics of Representation in Urban Public Spaces, examined the intersection of public space and ephemeral art, earning the Humanities, Arts, Architecture, and Social Sciences (HAASS) Fellowship.

Before focusing on fine art, I spent more than two decades in professional design—shaping virtual reality, gaming, mobile, and responsive experiences, as well as architecture and urban design at Microsoft, Amazon, IMDb, LMN Architects, and HOK. Over that time, I was awarded ten patents for software design innovation.

My creative work has been exhibited, published, and recognized across museums, festivals, and media outlets, including the Apple Keynote, Seeing Power: Art and Activism in the 21st Century, the Boston Cyberarts Festival, the Missoula Art Museum, Holter Museum of Art, Columbia City Gallery, Radius Gallery, Time, Mashable, Gizmodo, and The Boston Globe, among others.

I currently serve on the board of Vital Impacts, a nonprofit using the power of photography to fund and support organizations dedicated to environmental conservation and storytelling.
