Artist Statement

My work explores the subtle beauty within the familiar and ordinary, tapping into the intimate memories hidden within each of us. Throughout all of my work, there is an appreciation for the placeless and timeless, evoking a reverence for the mundane moments that enrich all beings' lives. 

I draw on black paper to enhance the audience's ability to superimpose their ideas and narratives onto these scenes making each person’s viewing experience and story behind the image unique.
