ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Red Shoes, Shelley Lake, 2019
Artist Statement
At first glance, machine-generated art can feel distant—cold, even—especially in a world that rightly celebrates the handmade. But my work begins with the same spark that has guided artists for centuries: a desire to explore, to communicate, to make meaning from the world around us.
I see Artificial Intelligence not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a collaborator—one that helps me see from new angles, move beyond physical limits, and deepen the conceptual foundation of my work. In this partnership, the machine does not dictate the outcome; it responds, offers, and surprises. My role as artist remains the same: to choose, to shape, to infuse the work with feeling and vision.
Technology has always played a role in art—from the first pigments mixed by hand to the invention of photography, printmaking, or the digital darkroom. AI is simply the next chapter in that story. I honor the past by building on it, inviting viewers to see this new medium not as a threat to tradition, but as a continuation of it.
Through this work, I hope to dissolve fear with wonder—and show that the heart of art has always been, and still is, profoundly human.
