Statement

artist statement
Ever since I visited Salvador Dali's museum in Florida in my 20's I have been fascinated by surreal
imagery. I was drawn to artists who could take familiar imagery and create strange, dreamlike,
fantastical visual stories via unusual placement on the picture plane. My work combines multiple
photographic images, colors, patterns and creates impossible situations through digital manipulation. I
am a former UW-Parkside photoshop instructor with many years of training. I love working in the
digital world and I am always learning something technically new. Each of my images contain many
layers of content to create surreal enigmatic visual stories.
