I am a Painter, Video Artist, and User Experience Designer at HBO. I live and work in Brooklyn, New York. My art explores the emotions that make up our inner monologue and how they project to the outside world. It is mostly figurative, with elements of surrealism and abstraction layered over representational landscapes or color fields. Certain motifs reoccur: a dark haired woman, a young boy, migrating birds, clouds, ocean waves. They are symbolic representations of emotions, as well as indicators of time passing and the pressure of future expectations. While in the Fine Arts program at Cornell University, I began experimenting with the use of digital projectors to create experiences that blurred the line between paintings, still images, and video. After graduating, I began a career architecting web applications and digital products. I have been at HBO for the last three years, most recently with the team that launched HBO Max. In 2013, I returned to visual art, and I was able to draw on my experience in UX and front-end development to solve many of the technical hurdles I'd encountered a decade earlier. I continue to experiment with moving elements using both projected video and digital screens. By capturing subtle movements and integrating them into my work, I seek to create meditative experiences that explore the line between video art and painting.
