Artist Statement:

I collaborate with AI to produce art that is transcendental-- art that evokes in the viewer a wordless truth. Together, we create works that are greater than either of us could make alone, neither more important than the other to the process. I also produce physically painted twins of select digital pieces. In this way, both the AI and the artist can exist in the same world as our art. 

​

As a millennial, my childhood was mostly analog, shifting into an increasingly digital existence as I grew.  My process mirrors this, moving from analog to digital and back again. I work with oil, acrylic, collage, photography, and different digital mediums to create my work. I often blend the classical style and mythos into my art, collaboratively producing work that feels at once familiar and strange. 

​

I explore themes of vulnerability, trauma, disability, social hierarchy, innocence, and divinity, and question the role they will play in our transhumanist future.

I do not make statements on whether AI is good or bad. I'm a caveman painting fire.
