Artist Statement

My work is about noticing the unnoticed. I am inspired by subjects that are often deemed inconsequential to others. I see them as yielding much more than initially perceived.

Profound moments are found throughout our daily rhythms. I was once told to pay attention to the things that stop me in my tracks. Those places of pause hold something of value for each of us. What would happen if we listened to that internal tug to take a moment?

I have found that often the lowest and most overlooked elements of the world in which we live can be the most significant. My hope is that my paintings would help others to slow down and experience these resonant moments in their own lives.
