About Me
Artist Statement
My work examines the narrow space between facts, perception, and misconception, creating wistful images of unconventional moments that connect the past and present.
I experiment with ink, paint, collage, distortion, and layering to contextualize my documentary and fine art images, creating diptychs and narratives about the known and unknown, historical and modern, and frank or confounding.
I have been fortunate to engage with many gifted artists, creative thinkers, authors, and humanitarians. Their work has provided me with pathways for inspiration, and I am grateful for their guidance.
