My earliest works explored the liminal space between photography and painting, creating luminous, ethereal images that evoked personal narratives. In the pre-digital era, I experimented with traditional media, employing photography as a foundation for my paintings. This approach allowed me to push the boundaries of both disciplines. However, the advent of digital technology transformed my practice. I embraced the digital realm as a new canvas, expanding the possibilities for experimentation and iteration.
Currently, I consider myself an image-maker; part artist, part curator. My work is a dialogue between the physical and digital, often culminating in prints on paper or canvas, but also unique gelatin transfer pieces that incorporate mixed media elements, adding depth and physical texture to my imagery. Ultimately, my art is a reflection of my own evolution, from the student seeking order to the artist embracing chaos. It is a continuous exploration of form, color, and meaning, driven by a relentless curiosity and a desire to communicate visually.
