Artist's Statement

My personal artwork revolves around a mythology of foggy midwestern nostalgia: football players, riverboats, cornfields, John Deere tractors, and homecoming parades. Delving into my childhood growing up in the Midwest, I mix these themes with fantasy elements and narratives inspired by the game worlds and characters I have created as a computer game developer. This aesthetic is wound through a variety of media including drawings, paintings, maquettes, computer-generated animations, and playable video game levels. More recently I've done projects focusing on details like my childhood home and my seventh birthday cake.
