"My paintings depict landscapes influenced by Internet, television and other media sources. Images and shards from glossy magazine pages are reassembled into a surrogate image within the drawing, in combination with code imbedded drawings of rock formations. I am interested in the interchangeability of imagery and our capability to perceive and ignore it, as we are conditioned by media’s overwhelming supply of information."
She is based in San Francisco.
