Conceptually, my work has been motivated by my concern for the social and political effects of mass media on society. Much of our perception of the world outside our own direct experiences comes through some form of media.

This second hand experience is a limited one and yet, decisions are made and opinions founded upon these simulated experiences. What are the consequences of functioning under this substitute reality? My paintings question these aspects of the human experience by confronting what we don’t see, or don’t want to see, about ourselves and how we impact the world around us.
