This piece is about crashing into something new, embracing change even when it feels chaotic or destructive. Explosions of color scatter across the composition, colliding in unexpected ways that suggest both rupture and renewal. It reflects not only the style I’ve been developing in my own work but also the sound and energy of the music I was listening to while it came together. The lyric-inspired title grounds the piece in the raw, transformative spirit of Achtung Baby.
Back in early 2020, just as Covid was beginning to take hold, I started searching for a new hobby I could do from home. Around that time, I had become a volunteer at the Robert Ferguson Observatory here in Sonoma County, and I began experimenting with astrophotography, capturing deep-space objects through a telescope.
That curiosity led me to explore other forms of digital creation, and I quickly discovered that AI art was starting to gain traction. I signed up for an AI art platform and was instantly hooked.
After a few years of experimenting and learning, I applied to the art incubator program at the Sebastopol Center for the Arts and was thrilled to be accepted. It was there that I learned the ins and outs of the art world and how to take my practice more seriously.
Since then, I've shown work in several exhibitions throughout the Bay Area. I always make it a point to be transparent that my work is created with AI, as I want to open conversations rather than ruffle feathers. Over time, I've narrowed my focus to abstract work, a style that, while broad, gives me endless room for exploration and expression.
I realize that AI art can be polarizing. However, my work never attempts to imitate or copy a specific artist. Instead, I use AI as a tool to explore form, color, and rhythm in ways that spark my imagination and open new creative pathways. For me, the process is about curiosity, experimentation, and finding a unique voice that reflects both human intention and technological possibility.
