Artist Statement

Conceptual Artist

Character Designer

New Media Artist

My conceptual works provide a steppingstone for other creatives to flesh out the full work they wish to create. When designing characters and settings, I aim for a mix of simplicity and intrigue to provide persistent interest in my designs from a wide range of consumers. These aspects also apply to the designs I create for my own works and worlds. 

My non-conceptual works reflect the digital worlds I experience and gain inspiration from. My work exists as an expression of feelings, past experiences, and aspects of the subconscious of my mind that are hard to express in words.

My studio work reflects the culmination of the spaces I experienced and lived in throughout my life. 

The nostalgic spaces of my childhood greatly inspire my thought processes when creating works. Having grown up with the Internet and video games, I was exposed to many varied forms of self-expression from hundreds of people around the world. The feeling of discovering something new about something I enjoyed made me even more excited to learn more. I wanted to create works that people could explore and enjoy just as I did with the media I engaged with. I wish for my work to recreate the sense of exploration and wonder I felt while browsing the Internet at an early age and learning all I could about the things I enjoyed. The thought of not only engaging those feelings with my audience but also encouraging them to experience my work with others is something I strive for with my work. 

Outside of nostalgic spaces, my imagination for my work is also derived from the dream worlds I explore. With my ability to lucid dream, I feel a sense of control in my dreams that I do not have while in the waking world. The worlds I explore while sleeping often inspire the fictional settings and characters I develop.
