Artist Statement My objective is to develop myself into the prototype of the Twenty-First Century Renaissance Man with accomplishments in the Arts, Science, Business, Athletics, Health and Politics. I temper my driven nature with the spirit of Zhuang Zi. All my endeavors have been very influenced by Internal Taoist Arts of Taijiquan and Baguazhang and the underlying science of Qigong.

My work uses juxtaposition and obscurity to challenge the viewers' perceptions. For my video work, I like to layer digital, analog and live camera sources to obscure the method in my madness and create moving paintings.
