Work Statement

By creating various dreamy, yet slightly dystopian landscape paintings with idealistic environments, I explore and question what it means to be successful. I juxtapose innovation and natural beauty with underlying subconscious disconnection in order to pull people away from superficial promises of a perfect society.
