Introduce yourself and describe your work and the media/genre you work in.
I’m primarily a photographer. It’s my first love. The last couple of years I’ve been exploring digital means for making art. These drawings are done on a tablet.
What would you like people to know most about your art?
Most of my work revolves around the observational skills I developed as a scientist. It’s all biology, geology and cosmology.
What do you feel is your role as an artist?
I think it’s to hold a mirror up to the world and let people see it through my eyes.
How has your practice changed over time?
It evolves as technology evolved, but at its heart it remains constant.
What books, movies and/or music have inspired you recently?
I’m currently reading Brief Answers to the Big Questions by Stephen Hawking. I’ve recently discovered The Black Creatures, a Kansas City based darkpop hip hop duo. They’re fabulous! The Here Now Film Festival offered many inspiring short films. I don’t know how I’d survive without Turner Classic Movies and the Johnson County Library.
