About

---

 I currently live and work in Akron Ohio. I am inspired by Renaissance and Baroque painting. I replicate the materials and visual troupes of this era but recontextualize the images in a contemporary lens. Referencing specific paintings and artists I will take an image and abstract it to represent the appropriation and departure from meaning in a new visual languages.
