My art relies heavily upon my personal experiences. I report back on what I have learned, observed, or survived and propose new lines of thinking.
I like to find the wonderful in the mundane, reveal something new from what appears to be nothing, or offer an unexpected perspective on institutions or traditions.
As much as I like new ideas and the onset of new technologies, I surround myself with things that are old. I have a great appreciation for objects that are classic–well crafted, and built to last. I also find beauty in deterioration and wear. I am not bound to any particular medium, yet it's no wonder that I am passionate about historic printmaking and alternative photo processes. They are prevalent in my work.
