Tell us more about your artistic process.
I began making art in 2002 with my video camera. I have learned and experimented with many different art forms since that time. In 2005, I found my halftone style which became my main artistic focus in 2013.
My style is entirely based on halftones, which are a repeating pattern that changes thickness to create an image. I use many different tools to accomplish my art, whether it is traditional hand tools or high tech computer programs I developed myself. Whichever tools I choose, halftones can be very tedious and labor intensive to get right – but the results are worth it!
