My artwork uses expansive digital technology to represent dreams and other ways of knowing, as I try to understand my world around me. The images represented here in this exhibit are from a "Buddha Nature" series that I am working on. In the process of this series I am asking questions.

The global economy and multicultural societies are increasingly accepted norms. Will an integrated spirituality evolve as well? Is polytheism really possible? As artists evolve a global mind, and mature past the self-conscious movement, will art play a responsible role in societies direction?

While the technologies I use are complex and the questions I am asking are deep and serious, the goals are simplicity in design and composition with an attitude of fun and adventure. For if I take myself seriously the results would be disastrous.
