Artist Statement I studied art at the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio and the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, D.C. My work revolves around small but portentous objects such as toys, souvenirs, and heirlooms, which resonate as vessels of personal memory and signifiers of cultural mores and beliefs. I am interested in the traces of meaning that objects hold for their owners and, for that reason, I often select subjects that tell a personal and human story.

In the course of exploring objects as signifiers and vessels, I have created a very unique form of still-life painting, imbued with remembrance and contemplation and expressed in slightly electric colors. My unique approach to the subject unmoors it from simple nostalgia or sentimentalizing of the past to create something new and immediate.
