As a visual artist, I work on the frontier of expanded painting. This means that a riot of possible techniques and subjects are considered when working on a single piece. I practice a continuous reflexivity in order to address and critique modern life's different psychological rationales and cultural schools of thought. Working similarly to an abstract expressionist I layer and discover compositions through my creative process, one that coincides with what R.G. Collingwood described as "not expressing the unknown, but discovering the unknown."

I’m interested in painting specifically, as an object that bears concrete, almost measurable evidence of labour on its surface. To advance these ideas into the 21st-Century I use digital image editing techniques to work out complex compositions. Essentially, I work images through a series of conscious and sub-conscious actions, leaving that which allows the viewer to enter into conversations about culture and nature.
