Artist Statement
Present day man has always fascinated me. My work has always focused on the
individual. Recording them has become my life's work and it engrosses me as I 
explore the connections between my subjects and their environments.

Through my work I am relaying personal narratives. Each character and situation 
created is not strictly based on one individual or event, but rather hundreds which 
have been stored within my subconscious.

My work strives to portray sophistication and precision in technique and execution.
While maintaining a playful approach on the surface I strive to examine and provoke 
reflection on contemporary social issues.
