What is your creative process? Do you work from photographs, sketches or from your mind?

I work from all of the above! I start the process for a painting by doing thumbnail sketches from my ideas about what I want to do. From there, I set-up a photo shoot to photograph the reference photos I need. After I’ve selected my reference photo, I start working on the painting. I will often add or subtract things for the final piece depending on what I want for the overall vision.

How would you describe your work?

My work is an appropriation of different styles and techniques that brings my compositions and color together. How I do this is I use my computer as a tool to create compositions that don’t physically exists in the world and through that I am able to open windows into virtual or digital spaces and create possibilities that are endless.
