COMBINE
SELECT WORKS
My personal work is often built in a combination of mediums. Instead of looking at a problem and having only one way of solving it. I feel like using different mediums and combinations may create a new way of seeing possibilities.
MFA / Post Work - Underlying Self
These drawings, mixed with portraits and the colors I envision, build a tangible expression of what I feel lies beneath the visual exterior. This body of work is a look at the layers and facades of people. I want to reveal these layers simultaneously through multiple mediums to embellish what I perceive to exist.
Photo Transfer to Wood - The Boys
My intention for this series is to use imagery of children at play to rekindle the imagination and nostalgia of the viewer. With the content of the images always leaving the focus of the children’s imagination unseen, to create a sense of exploration.
Along the lines of reaching back to our childhoods, a wood transfer is used with a mixture of black and white and color images edited to have a hand-painted feel. The combination of the wood and exaggerated color pallet creates the feeling of an older time. Regardless of the era of your childhood this hazy view and the wood canvas cause the viewer to look back.
