I am a mixed media artist and digital painter for feature film. I graduated from the Pacific Northwest College of Art in 1998 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, and was awarded the Outstanding Senior Thesis Award in Graphic Arts. From a very young age I have been driven by a passion to communicate through imagery. Working as a part of a film visual effects team feeds my interests in bringing the digital and traditionally created together to create something new, within a group. Working with mixed media allows me to explore, develop and follow my own ideas, and I am free to move between the digital and analogue with no boundaries. I use various combinations of acrylic painting and transfer, graphite and ink, found objects, digital photography, scans painting and collage. My interest and passion is exploring the process of bringing digitally and traditionally created imagery together in a seamless, unique and engaging way. Interests in comparative mythology, symbols and psychology, archetypes and dreams fuel my search for common ideas, visual themes and meaning within the contemporary human experience. My mixed media work combines digital and traditional mediums to weave image, emotion and idea into a common thread which attempts to find a level of resonance with the viewer.
