As an artist, I am drawn to subject matter of layered histories and the challenge of conveying the unseen through a visual medium. Interpretive yet visually faithful, my images imply storied pasts – accrued time as opposed to a mere increment. Using photography as a creative platform coupled with the compositional disciplines of graphic design, I employ techniques founded in both the wet and digital darkroom as my means of artistic expression. Stylistically spanning pointillism to virtually grain-free lithprints, a majority of my work falls under the umbrella of (or possesses traits of) Pictorialism, photography’s equivalent to Impressionism in the world of painting. In spite of an essentially photographic résumé, many of my stylistic influences come from outside the realm of photography, such as the highly detailed lithographs of Central American exploration by 19th Century architect Frederick Catherwood and Emily Carr’s iconic paintings of coastal First Nations settlements. As in both of these examples, I find the most compelling art to be the alchemy of subject and artistic vision. If there were a recurrent theme unifying at times disparate works, it would be their underlying anthropological subtexts and the narrative qualities they engender.
