I began painting brain and neuroscience art and in grad school at the University of Pennsylvania. My love for the brain and the beautiful forms of neurons fit harmoniously into my love for Asian art. I began exploring art of the brain and neurons through ink paintings and scrolls, painting commissions for universities and individuals. Over time, I gradually began using gold in my art. After years of experimentation with gold leaf, I invented a hyper detailed process called reflective microetching with my collaborator Dr. Brian Edwards. This style of art uses reflected light to create animated scenes on a seemingly flat piece of art on the wall.
I am a digital artist and nature photographer living on the coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. I'm surrounded by the ocean, forests, mountains, and abundant wildlife, and these things bring me joy that I hope finds its way into my images. When you view my work, my wish is that you feel a sense of intimacy that deepens your own connection to nature. Aside from photography, one of my passions is creating portraits of cats, dogs, and other animals. I also have growing collections of abstract landscapes, trees, flowers, and musical instruments. I enjoy creating collages using vintage ephemera from the late 1800's and early 1900's. These collages are often quite whimsical in nature.

Scenes for a New Heritage: Contemporary Art from the Collection is a sweeping reinstallation of
MoMA’s Contemporary Galleries. This cross-medium selection of works, created in the past three
decades by more than 30 international artists, represents a wide range of approaches to the
political, social, and cultural flux that have shaped the current global landscape. Some of
these artists use the lens of history—reflecting on past events or centuries-old artistic
traditions—as a means of assessing current conditions.
