My background and cultural experiences are influential factors in my life and art-making practice. In my creative process, I employ a free-wheeling cut-and-paste aesthetic, using traditional art materials, collage techniques, and new technologies to produce compositional designs that dissect and frame my perceptions of Western civilization. The juxtaposition of contemporary elements with historical and current-event artifacts, as well as my experiences and perceptions of reality, informs my conceptual approach.
