As a visual artist born and raised in the Bay Area, my practice revolves around an urban experience. I work primarily in painting, combining traditional brush application with materials and techniques learned through graffiti writing. My studio practice is informed by what I see and experience during urban exploration, it is driven by an admiration for the everyday, the concrete moments that surround us. I am often drawn to the multi-colored layering of paint that can happen as a result of graffiti application and abatement like found in street buffing. Or the chaotic composition found in a discarded pile of traffic equipment. I use my photos as references for paintings which I eventually bring out into the city to install and document. It is a cycle of giving/receiving reciprocity, my practice is fed by the moving life that occurs in the city. I take what I make and bring it back to the brick and chain-link fences to create a moment, a marker of my existence. As a witness, as an intervener, and as a city-dweller.

Through a series of ephemeral, sight-specific public paintings documented through photography and video I consider (in)visibility, blending in the public sphere, and the presumed neutrality of the cityscape.
