As an interdisciplinary artist, I resist being limited to any one mode of production.  I enjoy using multiple mediums and processes simultaneously, creating mixed-media works that explore the intersection of different techniques. While my current focus is on painting, I’m perpetually fascinated by the physicality of different mediums. My recent work is inspired by digital noise, a term I interpret as a metaphor for overstimulation. I’m especially drawn to the noise of technology around us and in us, and how this overstimulation can be represented through distorted, fragmented, or pixelated images. I see digital noise as anything that has been warped beyond recognition. It manifests as fleeting clip-like thoughts, ideas, or emotions that race through my mind, constantly being chopped up and reorganized. My creative process is heavily influenced by my mental health and repetitive looping thoughts, which I see as mirroring the pace of a digital workflow.

It’s common for me to draw inspiration or specific reference imagery from my iPhone’s camera roll, using screens as a central theme in my work. I’m currently exploring light and color vibrance in relation to acrylic painting methods. Within my practice, I typically use mediums such as graphite, gel pens, and highlighters on paper, as well as acrylic paint and paint markers on canvas. Occasionally, I’ll also experiment with video and digital software. My work ultimately is a testament to the nature of overstimulation and the power of art as a means of staying present in a world that can often feel overwhelming. Through creating work, I’m attempting to preserve the technicolor that floods my mind. I document my experiences and pay homage to our digital era, while still navigating the challenges it presents.
