My artwork deals with ideas of memory, relationships and untold stories. I find inspiration for my work in family snapshots, natural and manmade objects, and found photographs.

My most recent work compares found objects with found photographs. I layer, pair and compose objects with photographs.

 I started a collection of found photographs and postcards several years ago. Every place I traveled I would come across old black and white photographs of people, families and women dressed to the era. I was drawn to these photos, there was something genuine and beautiful in these snapshots of people I never knew but there was also sadness in finding them. Questions filled my mind about who were these people and why they were not in hands of the person pictured or passed down to their families. The more photos I found, the more I noticed similarities between the photos…lovely posed women, couples showing affection, women holding their babies in front their first home, brothers and sisters, best friends and people with their pets.

I want my work to address issues of unification. The human condition is timeless, there is a universal pull that unties us all, our need to love and be loved. I hope everyone knows the feeling of being loved and loving others, whether it is a friendship love, family love or a romantic love. We create our own personal histories that we document with photographs and journals and letters.
