Kunstart: Malerei
Stil: Gegenständlich
Vita / Lebenslauf:
Drawing from sociological literary research and first hand visual documentation, my artwork explores the interactional effect of social roles. These visualizations distill factual content and qualitative experience, towards an analysis of everyday scenes. My educational background, in Comparative Literature and Sociology (BA, Reed College) and Illustration (MFA, Academy of Art University) attests to my dual approach to matters of culture and translation, pairing academic research with visual narration.
