“My paintings are created from a desire to make the intangibles in the world into a physical object. I metabolize images, media, and processes from the digital world around me and appropriate them as paintings. 

From gradients and layering in Photoshop, to the anonymous image consumption in Instagram and Tumblr, my paintings are disparate moments forced into conversation. Each painting in the series titled Paintings for the Internet was created specifically to be photographed and shared online.”
