The bulk of my work explores the marching state of technology that gave rise to abstraction as an allegory for our modern digital advances. 

Before photography, representational painting was in fact the “state of the art” in visual representation. Just as photography shifted the context of representational painting and gave rise to Impressionism, computer generated imagery has shifted the context of the authenticity of documentation, expanding our notion of what constitutes reality even further. 

I address my own fears concerning technologically altered reality by painting in a digitally impressionistic technique that alludes to representational art history. The paintings’ lo-fi aesthetics simulate the corruption of an idealized form of communication fine tuned over hundreds of years into fractured bursts of information.
