About the artist...

I create to invent new spheres, new environments and unfamiliar places. I create because I discover something new about myself in the process.

In life, I find great inspiration from travel, experiencing the foreign or strange. In my work I'm inspired by the mundane. By combining both sources of inspiration I strive to elevate the ordinary into something extraordinary. I try to break all the rules of photography. This comes easily for me since my background is that of a painter, not a photographer. I transform and combine my subjects with a photo manipulation program until they are 100 percent unrecognizable.
