I am a painter, I make figurative work. I studied Printmaking. I’ve had two solo exhibitions so far and a few group shows.

I mean everything is on social media. It is what it is. It’s ingrained in everything. I don’t find value in complaining about it at this point. I hate it I like it I use it it's there. Whatever. It’s whatever at this point.

It really varies, I like taking my time though when possible. It’s nice to sit with a painting and see something you could do with it that you needed time from it to be able to see. I like working on multiple things at once for that reason, yes. I have fluctuations, I feel like a different version of myself every day so I like to work however that goes.

I vaguely knew that New York was where you went if you wanted to make a thing happen. I had no concept of how to go about that.

I’m not really interested in pursuing sculpture at the moment at the time of that interview I guess I thought I might have been, I change my mind all the time.

I think machines are art. I think the obsession humans have with making machines more like us is a fascinating psychological condition. I wonder what that's about. But to answer your question, I don’t really care about it.

I was making ends meet in New York, that required a lot of my concentration. I also had some personal things happening that took a while to recollect myself from.

Sometimes there are parts of myself in my work. The pieces that are more directly me don’t necessarily resemble me but there was some type of self examination that they originated from. All of the pieces are an examination of some type of definition of beauty I have in my mind. Something glamorously not right, or jarring. I don’t really know how to put it into words but when I’m talking about beauty I really mean tension. That’s what I find beautiful. So anyways I’m making pieces about tension and detachment, discomfort, power, all of these things through my personal lens.

No. I mean a lot of it tries very hard to be.

I'll take it where it goes.
