We represent ourselves in so many ways to so many different audiences, that finding our true selves is becoming more and more difficult. Half truths, or total fabrications, are being labeled as reality. Truth is, we are losing what it means to just be authentically ourselves.

Social media drives our attention and ambition, to be like others, or fit in. Reality television is a produced and polished entertainment outlet, yet we watch and dream of being like the Kardashian’s, or this week's multi millionaire internet trending darling. Political figures lie directly into the camera, and call it “Alternative facts”.

The truth is, we have completely lost what it means to just be different, or in this case, ourselves. We create personas that we present to work, to our friends, to our families, to our lovers, that are merely half truths, if there is any truth at all to the image.

This body of work directly relates to my interest in studying the psychology of today's portrait and our need to fit in or be “liked”. My interest in math and organizing content has led me to create my compositions using sacred geometry as a means to create my fragmentations and abstractions. This new organization of cubism allows for multiple views from different angles, minus the randomness of it all and instead, through the use of sacred geometry, creates a visual purpose that is actually part of the physical fabric of our universe.


Still life painting for me has less to do with composition and more to do with narrative. I am far more fascinated by what the story is behind the objects, than the subtle arrangement of random objects within a composition. Why are these items here and what are they telling me? This is what makes still life a subject worth exploring and one that keeps me coming back to the idea of still life painting.

Landscape painting

I began to enjoy landscape painting when I started to explore it more as a study of abstraction rather than an exercise of representation. What draws me into an image or setting are the colors and shapes, the location becomes secondary to the overall feeling that originally captured my attention.
