ARTIST STATEMENT

My work draws inspiration from the world around me. Through assemblage, photography, and digital collage, I explore current events, politics, religion, music, and personal experience. I combine found imagery with photographs of my own body, bringing them into conversation with aging and social narratives.

My process is intuitive and spontaneous. Images and ideas work together to complete the outcome. The element of surprise is the most exciting part of my creative process.

While my pieces often stem from disappointment and sadness, they are tempered with humor and hope. As we watch human connection and civility decay, I’m hoping hope isn’t hopeless.
