The Argument #2 Print

I work mainly in mixed media and collage in a number of independent art series with different modalities but many unifying themes. The subjects of my art are the intersections of politics, philosophy, and personal histories. My background in surrealism informs my use of the familiar to express the strange in my artwork. I will often use disparate elements to create conceptual contrasts and juxtapositions. I like to play with dichotomies and visual commentary to create works of art that challenge viewers to think about themselves and their relationship to the world around them. For me, good art is not just aesthetically pleasing but should transport the audience to another state of mind, a state of mind that goes beyond everyday experience and into realms of the unusual, the undiscovered, and the unexplainable.
