My work is the product of experimentation with altering photographic images using a series of original, unique processes. The images are printed on hand made paper and a wash is applied before it is transferred onto a surface and re-colored using acrylic paint and oil pastel. The resulting effect has been described as both eerie and soothing while evoking feelings of memories or dreams. I use images that are representational of everyday life in hopes of connecting with the viewer and making ordinary, mundane scenes more interesting. My goal is to create a snapshot that could be a remembered second of anyone's life.
