Sketchbook: Generative Drawing

Wave Pool 2

My work is centered around generative graphics, data visualization and interaction design. In design, I focus on effective communication through organization and intuitive interaction. My scripted artwork largely consists of algorithmic drawing machines, explorations of pattern, color, texture, and motion. I also work in digital photography, traditional artistic media, and an array of other methods.

bio

I am a digital artist and designer working in a variety of emerging media. My recent work focuses around generative images, interactivity, design, and data visualization. I began using Processing, and later other programming languages, during the fall of 2008 to create dynamic works which re-create themselves differently each time and often interact with the viewers. In design, I focus on functionality, using motion and interaction, along with traditional tools of design, to create effective and engaging interfaces. Since winter 2008 I have been working with the web approaching it from a design perspective as a means for organizing and structuring information and also as a media for more abstract works.

I have always been very interested in the sciences, which have a huge influence on my work. I began my artistic career in botanical illustration and, while I've come a long way, the organic textures and compositions in my work still draw on botanical and biological imagery.

Currently I am studying at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in the Interaction Design & Art department where I continue to explore new tools and media. For more information you can read my resume or contact me with questions or comments.
