Artistic Statement

My creative process features vibrant mash- ups remixing up to 100 layers of finely detailed digital imagery. I have a knack for playfully collaging disparate images into a cohesive whole. I call them ‘maps’ because they reflect the organic results of the pixel by pixel micro- composing attention I pay to them. The smART Maps generally portray my genuine interests in math + science + engineering + technology + innovation + creativity. In addition, I focus what is special about the here and now of the early 21st century. I find inspiration in blazing new trails in our digital age.
