My Bio
I am a neo-gothic installation artist specializing in Digital Media and Fibers. I also moonlight as a graphic artist designing t-shirts for a geek clothing company.
I've been making art since I could hold a pen or pencil; it has been the one constant in my chaotic life and has literally saved my life. I live to make art; I couldn't stop any more than I could stop breathing.
I have a BFA in cross-disciplinary studies and plan on earning a master's as well as a PhD. In the mean time, I'm learning about life after undergraduate and how to make art on my own terms.
My work is largely about mental and emotional issues as it has been a vehicle for me to heal from severe trauma and mental illness. My work often focuses on suffering - that of myself and others. It is a means to express frustrations both personal and global and attempt to create change in myself and the world. Thus my work is also about the transformation from suffering to transcendence and the role of the individual in this change.

it's funny how life works out

Somewhere along the way I acquired the belief (probably from my sperm-donor) that my talents and skills were worthless unless I was using them to make money. I struggled with that as a long time until I experienced a life-changing trauma that made me realize art was the one thing that had always made me happy.
So I quit graphic design and started studying fine art - and decided to save myself (and somehow the world) with it. But I never lost that idea that there were rules about art. That artists were poor, or they wold out. That there were artists and Artists. Going to get my BFA didn't really change this idea. The educational art

No, really, it's true. I updated my bio and I've gone through my gallery and cleaned up old submissions that no longer reflect my style and skill level in anticipation of uploading my most recent works. The next step is actually uploading those. So stay tuned for epic newness. :heart:
