Visually, my art is influenced by magazine layouts, political cartoon, collage, video game or software interfaces, and even the way that art directors will mark up a work in progress. My work often draws from the digital realm, but I nearly always do the work in the analog realm. I might use a text messaging conversation bubble, but it will be hand painted on a physical surface with physical paint. My visual language is also heavily influenced by fashion, and the dying art of fashion magazine. I assemble compositions like editorials or advertisements, often working with themes of presentation and self-creation. I sometimes borrow technique from magazines as well, assembling images with a process similar to the "paste up" process used to assemble magazine spread before it was done digitally. I mix mediums, primarily ink, gouache, photography, or watercolor. When I work digitally, it is in video, using photojournalistic footage from my own life to speak to many of the same themes as my traditional work. I am more interested in emotion and memory than production value.
