I am a digital artist and designer, and have been since 1996. I received my BA from Yale University, and my MFA from Columbia University; I am currently assistant professor of digital design in the Department of Art at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
My work is primarily an exploration of visual text, often, but not always, in narrative. The final form of these projects is usually physical—digital prints and artist's books—but the process behind them uses dynamic structures and computer programming to determine the shape and nature of both image and text. The text is often highly symbolic or allegorical in nature; in thinking about visual text I draw heavily on medieval sources and the tradition of illuminated manuscripts.
