I am an artist who mostly thinks about math.

And by artist I mean visual artist, but I’m also a music composer originally from and currently residing in Knoxville, TN.

My current artist statement sums up what I think about making art.

My interview with Rachel Bubis of Locate Arts will tell you more about me as well.
