Big America. Mashing the past with the present, my work is an exploration of America's visual history through the lens of modern day technology. I am a video, installation, and electronic artist.


When I make a piece of Art, the means I use to communicate an idea are equally paramount to the idea itself. Technology is not just my weapon of choice, it is often fundamental to the idea I'm exploring. I try to build each piece on a strong conceptual foundation while at the same time giving viewers a reason to engage.

In my work you'll find Gene Kelly's superhuman acrobatics manipulated to celebrate the Wright Brothers achievements. Excerpts of Benjamin Franklin's Almanack posted via Twitter as a celebration of the timelessness of social interactions. A cacophony of flashbulbs at an Evel Knievel jump used to create afterimages and a simultaneous portrait of the legend and of ourselves. Google image search as a tool to re-create 19th Century Spiritualist photography and a celebration of our ability now to see anything, anytime instantly.


  • Designed the video and still images for STREB’s internationally touring shows 'Action Heroes' and 'GO!'. I performed video with STREB at Central Park Summerstage, Singapore Arts Festival and Teatro Municipal de Santiago (Chile) to name a few.


  • Was a frequent guest performer (Live Video ((a.k.a., VJ))) with the musical group INTERFACE.



  • Co-founded VisualLiving- a place for affordable, editioned Art presenting new Artists, new images and ideas.


  • Co-founded 10 Gallon Productions with the mission to enable clients to communicate with their customers using the latest digital technologies in the most creative ways.



  • Since 2004 I have been working at the intersection of entertainment, advertising and creativity at a variety of global digital publishers and platforms.


  • I hope to be making more art again soon.
