About Me
With over twenty years of experience as a multi-media artist and twelve years as a business manager for Amazon.com, I am focused on the confluence of art, technology and commerce.
My recent artwork addresses the ever-expanding feelings of anxiety and alienation within society; feelings that arise from collective traumas such as the pandemic, climate change and the conflicts caused by long-term geopolitical shifts of power over territories. I work with different media ranging from web-design and virtual reality to filmmaking and photography. A common theme in this work is the questioning of the boundaries of these diverse formats. I seek to evoke the users’ sense of self-awareness in order to open space for their own subjective response to both the artwork and, more importantly, to the nowness of the world around them.
My 2021 project, Blursday.Zone, is a triptych of three VR productions that recently exhibited at the 2021 DOK Leipzig Extended Reality program and the 2021 Athens Digital Arts Festival.
My films and art projects have been exhibited at over sixty-five festivals and art events in twenty countries, including the Edinburgh Film Festival, Shanghai’s OCAT Contemporary Art Terminal and the AVIFF Cannes Festival.
In my twelve years at Amazon.com, I was the Movies and Music Category Manager for Amazon Marketplace, and a Senior Business Developer at IMDb with a focus on content and technology acquisition/licensing deals. I also designed, project-managed and led many software launches, including leading the first group to integrate a commercial project with Amazon Web Services, outside that team proper.
My background includes a Creative Writing with Computer Science degree from Vanderbilt University and activism for Greenpeace.
