Artist Statement

My paintings are visual data that provide a glimpse of the fundamental microscopic structures of the universe. Scientific laws are studied and interpreted to create a system that transforms numeric information into visual data. By studying the Periodic Table I have developed a coding system that represents each Chemical Element in order to make vivid, diagrammatic works of the elemental composition of the human body in relation to the cosmos. My concept is to create a visual system, which functions as a symbolic representation of the elements shared between our body and the universe. This system was created to show humanity’s atomic connection to the cosmic cycle of life, death, and rebirth; and to find a metaphoric connection between our existence and the existence of the universe.

Welcome to Space Race Studios!

We have lift off! The past few weeks in the studio have been very exciting. For one, we settled on a name with some help from our good friend Ian. Juniper Space Race Studios! We also finally got our walls up and it's quite a transformation. Since there is only 3 of us in the space and not four like expected we made each studio bigger 12' X 15'! Check out the before and after pictures.
