Courtier 26"x20"

My work is inspired by the media’s visual interpretation of the world contrasted against the world’s actual condition. The images employed by the media represent a mutual experience we all share and play an active role in shaping our perceptions. As an artist, I want to take control of this process and use images that illustrate extreme contrasts of value and meaning and re-imagine them so that their significance and impact on our lives can be felt and realized. Through this process, images and moments that were originally meant to be transient and ephemeral are transformed into something that is lasting and substantial. It is my intent to elicit questions not answers to these situations.
