About Me
I'm a Los Angeles based new media and performance artist, painter and art historian. I received my BA in Art History and my MA in Studio Art from California State University at Northridge. For over 12 years, I've has been experimenting with various interdisciplinary art forms including using online virtual worlds and social networking technologies to connect with international audiences and local arts communities. My current work explores notions of online identity, specifically the construction of Avatars. My work as a whole stands as an allegory of the relationship between appearance and identity, illusion, belief and reality. Two projects I am presently working on include, "My Life as an Avatar: The Gracie Kendal project" and "1000 Avatars" a contemporary anthropology of portraits of avatars in the virtual world of Second Life.
