I am constantly experimenting with different materials, mediums, styles, and techniques in hope of producing exciting images and stories. Some feelings cannot be easily expressed, so I rely on spontaneity and chaos as well as process and order to actualize my perceptions of the world. My most recent work involves digital collages of old magazines and drawings where I discovered sublime texture filled secret locations, patterns and objects using Photoshop, MS Paint, Markers.
