My art explores multiple ways and approaches to image-making. By extracting information and imagery from many different sources and synthesizing them, I embark on a journey of discovering forms that may exist in real space or in spaces of their own.

My work is constructed with found imagery appropriated from my external environment, the internet, and imagery that I create. I then configure and develop the imagery through a series of physical and digital layers. The imagery that I extract from my external environment includes hand-writings, graffiti tagging, spills, and sometimes, found drawings. The imagery produced are gestural line drawings and paintings that are a synthesis of organic and sometimes geometrical qualities.
