I’m a Denver-based mixed media artist working in collage, ink, watercolor, and acrylic. My process is intuitive, which is a polite way of saying I rarely know what a piece is going to be until it tells me. What I do know is that transformation tends to show up whether I invite it or not — as a theme, as a question, as some kind of recurring gravitational pull I’ve stopped trying to explain.

I work across mediums and let the idea decide the form. Sometimes that means cutting and layering found imagery. Sometimes it means paint, or ink, or drawing, or all of it at once. I source from books, magazines, the internet, and my own hand when the right image doesn’t exist yet. Recontextualization is a throughline regardless of medium: a bat means one thing; a bat beside a butterfly means something else entirely.

Humans think symbolically, and I like to get in there and mess with that. The work is personal and it’s also a kind of report. I’m processing transformation at the same time I’m observing it as a universal condition. My hope is that somewhere in that overlap, something human resonates. If not, at least it looks cool on a wall.
