About MeI have an incessant desire to create decorative magic-realist artwork, and to bring a sense of ornament and surrealism to everyday objects such as jewelry, clothing, software, and furniture.
Ranging from infographic jewelry, to illuminated
evening gowns, to software adorned with mythical creatures, my artwork has
been featured in a range of publications and venues, including
The Planetary Society,
ELLE Magazine Argentina,
ELLE DECOR Italia,
Craft:zine,
MAKE:,
SIGGRAPH,
Maker Faire,
CNET news,
and
Burning Man Center Camp Cafe.
I've designed projects, kits, and step-by-step instructional patterns available through MAKE: Magazine's
Maker Shed
and the
NASA Dryden Flight Research Center gift shop,
and my decorative software work has been published through
Mozilla and
Nullsoft.

Art Style: Decorative Magic-RealismDecorative magic-realism infuses the world with feral beauty. In combining mythical beings and ornamentation with unlikely subjects and materials, decorative magic-realist artworks inspire positive relationships with the unconventional beauty of everyday objects and the curious intricacies of the universe.
