My work has evolved over time and primarily falls in the experimental realm. I am a sucker for image and text relationships. I am inspired by the works of Lynda Barry, Cindy Sherman, Vivian Maier and Andy Goldsworthy. I am an observer of the natural world and appreciate the slow film movement. I am also a community-builder and youth mentor, so many of my projects revolve around interactive elements meant to engage young audiences, such as the creation of open-air labyrinths and other community-based art projects happening in Chicago.
