Why I'm not using AI to create art anymore.

After several years of incorporating AI into my artistic practice, I've decided to move in a different direction.

This isn't a decision I arrived at overnight, but one that feels increasingly like the right one for me as an artist.
For many reasons—ethical, creative, and personal—it's time for me to step away from AI and return to making work with my hands, my camera, and physical materials. It feels like the right place to be, and the right side of where I believe this conversation is heading.

I'm finding myself drawn back to ideas, projects, and processes I set aside years ago.
Old photographs, paper, found objects, sculpture, fiber, and experimentation are finding their way back into the studio.
Some of these paths are familiar; others are completely new.

I don't know exactly where this shift will lead.
It's equal parts exhilarating and unsettling—the feeling of being a beginner again, of allowing curiosity to lead instead of the roads I know.

The work will feel a little scattered for a while, but I see that as an essential part of the process.
Artists grow by questioning, revisiting, and occasionally changing course.
This is one of those moments.
Its time to get on the right side of history. I love what I have created but its time to change.

Thank you for following along. I hope you'll stay with me as this next chapter unfolds
