I render scenes from generally unremarkable life events that bring me joy when I first see them. Quiet and wordless, they imply undefined visual narratives and ask for further consideration. No two people and their experiences are the same, and as a result, their interpretations will vary as well. I hope the frozen state of the images will allow others to focus on their harmony, and go forth and discover their own unexpected moments of personal radiance. Maybe some will reflect upon fortuitous moments that surfaced amongst the more restricted periods of the last few years. (Hopefully there were at least one or two.)

Recent source material has come from old family photographs that were determined to be unworthy of display and forgotten in storage. For me now, they are found objects that I have no personal attachment to, but great aesthetic appreciation of. I am grateful for the opportunity to filter each image and its boundless potential through my eye and hand.

This body or work shares a focus on the power of women and girls living their lives without immediate concern, or arguably with dismissal, of society and its pressures and expectations. It is my hope that these works draw attention to the innate strength women and children possess that may be overlooked, ignored, and suppressed.
