About

I capture memories through the lens of our current political, geopolitical, and social climate. We all do it too now - though sanitized - each of us individually orchestrating moments. We create them, seize and freeze them. We curate them and share them. The power to hold a memory in front of us - illuminated in the dark.

I create with a frantic mind and frantic hands usually in mixed media, capturing my moments and the feelings they evoke. My work is filled with layers of narrative that make people contemplate what they think they are seeing against what they are actually viewing. Each time something new is discovered. I draw so the memories won't go away, so they will live with me in my finite forever - and perhaps yours too.
