My art practice is driven by my impulse to draw and my quest to better understand how I relate to the natural and digital environments I inhabit. My process is twofold. I combine disciplined and labor-intensive techniques with a conceptual engagement rooted in romantic notions of technological advancement, mediation and popular culture. My bodies of work are a series of related meditations on artificiality and its potential to be beautiful and life-affirming.
My most recent project is a series of process drawings reproducing historic romantic landscape paintings in ballpoint pen.
I was born in 1985 in Smithtown, New York. I attended Cornell University for my BFA and received my MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2009. I currently live and work in Chicago, Illinois.
