Through the synthesis of painting and drawing in relationship to the digital image, I explore the ways in which images relate to the history of fine art. Through the use of traditional methods, I make connections between the narratives, devices and formal qualities of the figurative tradition and the everyday images we consume and produce. In doing so, I attempt to see both the history of painting and the digital image afresh. My work also emphasizes the atemporal dimension of contemporary visual culture and considers how our relationship to history and to the future has been irrevocably changed by the digital image.
