Artist's Statement

I graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia with a BFA in Illustration and a penchant for ambiguity. Although I strive to generate works that have comprehensible narrative properties, I find that I am more comfortable producing material that reflects my vague sense of self.

These works betoken an attempt to construct a personal taxonomy through the collation of symbols embedded in esoteric contexts. Each article imparts an obscure disclosure, which oscillates between sincerity and self-indulgent reticence.
