I am currently exploring dynamism in prototype motorcycle racing and offshore sailing. It is the stillness, in ever evolving change that carries deep meaning for me. It is the exploration of meditation in motion and the unraveling from the inside out, to only arrive with a deeper sense of intuition and heightened sense of awareness that has inspired me. My yoga practice plays a big part in this investigation.

I began my work as an artist in skydiving while finishing my MFA in Santa Barbara, CA. This path eventually led me to prototype motorcycle racing. Here, I have devoted ten years so far, into looking at rider and machine blurring into a lyrical passage, permeating the senses and born into the present. Oceanic aspects connected to immersive qualities feel similar while sailing. Perceived notions of duration are subject to creative destruction.

I work with the Hasselblad H4D-40 digital equipment, on board and trackside.
