“Digital technology has had a profound effect on our daily lives. In many ways it has made life much easier, but it has also generated significant societal dilemmas. My work endeavors to bring some of the issues of our times to the forefront, in the hope that we can address them as a society. Marshall McLuhan stated, “Technology is just not a happenstance and not just something that got there when nobody was noticing and so, we are responsible for our technologies and the effects of our technologies, as we are responsible for tidying up our grammar.”

Technology has changed our perception of the world as our real world and the digital world converge. Our lives are so enmeshed with technology, that it seemingly appears to exist as an extension of our identities.

My work embodies the representation of the figure juxtaposed with color, data glitches, and digitally corrupted signals. These figurative works are painted using oil on canvas. It is through my love of figurative painting that I present these issues.”
