Hello! I am an artist and designer who likes to navigate between each of those roles. I create video art using digital media and hand drawn illustrations where I construct non-linear narratives, hybridizing digital abstractions and offbeat characters. Color is an important element throughout my work. Mythology and original fairytales are often re-purposed in a modern context. I moved to Seattle from Arizona 3 years ago with my perfectly behaved mini Dachshund Gus, and we spend a lot of time near the water. Opening in July is a show I’ve curated titled Surf & Turf, at Soil Gallery.
