Click to Enlarge	Personal Statement: I am a wordsmith and fantasy driven performance creator. I use text driven images to make worlds that are at once sad, enlightening, and frightening. I'm always trying to learn how to collaborate, especially with videographers, directors, performance artists and graphic novelists.
