About me / Vita
Recent Dartmouth College (Hanover, New Hampshire,
USA) graduate, B.A.
with honors in Studio Art. Recently moved to
Munich and seeking to join
an
art community. My goal: to take over the world
with my art.
Official Artist Statement:
How does one cope with the many disheartening
crises pummeling today's society? There are
serious climate problems, challenges of extreme
poverty and epidemic disease. There are dramatic
social inequities and human rights violations
around the world. Like many others, I turn to
popular culture for a distraction from these
issues. Our world has become a "dual-universe" in
which one minute we are watching Arab-Spring
revolutions and the next minute we are lost in
glossy, celebrity-tabloid magazines. I explore
this schizophrenic reality through my work by
blending social issues with pop culture. I am
influenced by everything from art history to
horror films, by everyone from the rich and famous
to the homeless I meet. It would be criminal not
to recognize the two most profound influences on
my art, Andy Warhol and Banksy, whom I often turn
to for inspiration.
