Statement

My new work involves the creation of urban-based idealized landscapes in dreamlike circumstances. My use of ambiguous relationships and unsettling juxtapositions of geographic locations in the Bay area are prominent features of my work.I merge new digital photography with painting and Bay Area architecture to create new perspectives, focusing on San Francisco neighborhoods as my primary subject. The outcome can be whimsical and yet it offers a serious sociopolitical commentary on the changes to our urban landscape.In 2006, I began working with architectural forms, derived from digital technology, with the use of printmaking, ink, pencil markers, acrylic paint, and archival pigment.
