I am a visual artist with a background in installation and printmaking. A recurring theme in my work is the juxtaposition of innocence and violence. I use a child-like style to depict images of brutality, as a way to illustrate my understanding of the human condition. A whimsical quality offsets the disturbing or melancholy mood of the images. Song lyrics often serve as a starting point for the work, as do phrases from novels or poems, and dream or nightmare images are common. I attempt to create a space of wonder in which the viewer can form an emotional, intuitive response.
