This piece was driven by the current plights of Koalas devastated, as they battle unending fires in Australia. I seek to place hope while telling about the koala's current plight.  Blog post

The palette was inspired by the Australian flag since koalas are native.

I often explore the influence of technology and how much life filters through it. Is technology simply being consumed, or is it consuming us to a point of no return? Will all we are left with just be virtual reality? I visually represent that filter flowing through my subjects in tightly organized clusters of symbols inspired by binary code, pop culture, archaic lettering, alchemy and my imagination. It serves as a reminder that maybe we need to take a pause from technology and actually go out and experience life. Perhaps renewed interest in nature and life experiences will spark changes in all our consumption habits to create a sustainable planet where all life can live in balance with each other.
