I consider myself a traditional painter but one who is also absolutely fascinated with art and tech collaboration. I explore how new technology can be used to more actively engage the viewer. We're amid a digital revolution and so my aim is to investigate how various technologies can be incorporated with my work to enhance or alter the viewer experience. Over the last few years the themes informing my work have become more and more intertwined with my interests in tech and modern communication. Every artwork tells a story and AR, near field communication tags, video, social media integration and other digital elements that I employ enables me to present my paintings in innovative and captivating ways and to even entirely change the way one experiences the artwork. In June of 2017 I purchased some bitcoin and soon after I fell down the proverbial rabbit hole. Since then, my paintings have focused on blockchain and cryptocurrency; themes, ideas and people.
