About me

My art is about creating a narrative rather than a statement. The main themes in my work are basic and universal - life, death, the journey, and a search for home. My art, like the rest of my life, is largely driven by humor as a survival mechanism and a way to connect to other humans. I like the dance of balancing the tension between technique and creativity. My creative process is simultaneously a rejection of art as an authoritarian realm and a deep respect for, and appreciation of tradition. 

I use a variety of mixed media techniques, “painting” with transparent layers of my photographs, collages, mark-making tools, and found objects. I greatly appreciate being able to grab objects and ideas from real life and install them into parallel realities. The four-legged chicken, a mythical creature that might or might not be me, is the messenger that conveys meaning from here to there, as well as through space and time.

In the last few years, my work has been greatly influenced by the war in Ukraine and the explosion of anti-semitism in the world following the October 7th attacks. The questions of where I am coming from and where I am going have intertwined themselves into existing themes with a passion and an agenda.
