Artist Statement:

In my recent body of work, I have attempted to create a dialogue between still and moving images through vibrant paintings and digital
animations. The work consists of both time-based electronic image sequences and paintings that use digital stills as their source. The
result of this mixing of analog and digital media is a convergence of worlds, both real and imagined, where representation and abstraction
can intermingle. Movement is suggested as one views a static painting, while a fluid animation slowly breaks up into its discrete parts. Intense colors, simplified shapes, and repeated patterns suggest geometric abstraction and synthesized space. My work brings the fluidity of the imagination to the precision of the digital aesthetic, watching them both change over time .
