The cliché "a picture is worth a thousand words" rings true in my mind.  I am strongly influenced by all things visual and feel strongly that powerful ideas can be communicated without words.  Imagery draws on emotion, experience and perception, challenging a viewer to think and compare new ideas to learned viewpoints.

For each of my projects this semester I sought to tell a story in images.  I am particularly fascinated at the emotion in narrative that can be portrayed with few or no words at all.  I attempted to create images that use traditional or iconic ideas of evil to invoke emotion, but challenge the viewer to consider new meanings.
